Indeed, the Central Bank of #Egypt (CBE) is doing a good job and knows well that there is no room for complacency as the regional storm is brewing.
It took two crises and almost $75bn of GCC support since 2013 (a large part of which were swapped for prime local assets) to bring Egypt back from the brink. The lesson has been learnt the hard way; and consolidating the hard-won and regained credibility of the CBE with international investors (as positioning hovers around $25/30bn) is critical amidst heightened geopolitical uncertainty, and anticipated end of the IMF EFF program in December. Kudos indeed as there are no easy options.
The Egyptian Pound is falling. That's not a sign of weakness, but a sign of good policy. Oil prices are spiking as fears of another hot war build, so the weaker Pound is offsetting all of that. Egypt deserves huge kudos for letting the Pound float...

التقيت بوزير خارجية تركيا في إسطنبول، حيث أكدت رفض مصر القاطع لتصديق مجلس النواب الليبي على مذكرة التفاهم الموقعة عام ٢٠١٩ بين فايز السراج وتركيا بشأن تحديد مجالات الصلاحية البحرية في البحر المتوسط. من جانبه، أكد الوزير التركي تفهمه للشواغل المصرية وأهمية استمرار التشاور بشأنها.

🔴 BREAKING: In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan say the “Israeli occupation is the main source of instability in the region and beyond.”

I just arrived in Egypt.
Amid intensifying conflicts, I carry a message with me:
We need to stop the widening of war, protect civilians & create the political space for diplomacy & peace.
We must tackle the inequalities that divide societies – & stop the conflicts that are multiplying human suffering & pushing an already unequal world further apart.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Houthis have attacked commercial vessels and arbitrarily detained UN personnel. The Security Council demanded an end to these attacks, and Guterres himself condemned the detentions. How can we trust an agreement with a militia responsible for these actions?

The Saudis and Emiratis should set aside their rivalries and push for ceasefires in Yemen and Sudan. This would benefit nearly everyone, including the Gulf states themselves economist.com/leaders/2026/1…

En Cisjordanie, la récolte des olives se déroule sous tension. À Taybeh, l’un des derniers villages entièrement chrétiens de la région, des habitants ont été agressés alors qu’ils récoltaient leurs olives. Une partie de leur récolte a également été volée.
🚨 Entre violences, restrictions d’accès aux terres et craintes d’un départ forcé, le père Bashar lance un appel à la communauté internationale et aux chrétiens du monde entier pour protéger les familles et leur permettre de rester sur leurs terres.
🕊️ Au-delà des oliviers, c’est aussi l’avenir des chrétiens de Terre sainte qui est en jeu.

El-Sisi sends message to Saudi king reaffirming Egypt’s support
english.ahram.org.eg/NewsCon…
Of course. The purpose of all this is to show solidarity with Saudi Arabia and to push for more negotiations although Cairo’s leverage remains limited.
Sisi said Egyptian military support for Saudi Arabia would be limited to defending the kingdom’s territory, ruling out attacks on Yemen newarab.com/news/sisi-egypt-…

After investigations that lasted for over six hours, Mada Masr Editor-in-Chief Lina Attalah was ordered released by prosecutors on Wednesday evening on LE100,000 bail.
Attalah was questioned by the Supreme State Security Prosecution in Case 9072/2026 on charges of publishing false news inside and outside the country, with questions touching on a recently-published Mada Masr report concerning a wave of protest actions at a number of prisons across the country. She was also questioned about Mada Masr’s work since its foundation, as well as about the steps its management has taken to obtain a license, according to lawyer Mokhtar Mounir. storage.googleapis.com/madam…

Contribution pour @FR_Conversation : "le mouvement yéménite redéfinit son rôle, souvent réduit à celui de « supplétif de l’Iran », et recentre son attention régionale sur son affrontement de longue date avec l’Arabie saoudite."

Egypt's parliament delayed a vote on authorising military support for Saudi Arabia amid increasing attacks by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi group.
The vote is now set for October 26, prolonging debate over Egypt's role in the Yemen conflict.

La journaliste Lina Attalah, figure du média indépendant Mada Masr, a reçu une convocation des autorités égyptiennes pour mercredi.
Le mois dernier, six journalistes d'un autre média égyptien indépendant, Matsda2sh, ont été arrêtés. Leur détention vient d'être prolongée.
Lina Attalah, Mada Masr’s editor-in-chief, received a summons today from the Supreme State Security Prosecution to attend a questioning session on Wednesday, October 21. The summons did not say why she is being questioned.
The new investigation, Case 9072/2026, is the sixth case brought against Mada Masr, its journalists and its editor-in-chief in the past six years. The most recent was in August 2025, when the security prosecution released Attalah on LE30,000 bail. She was questioned at the time on charges of “broadcasting false news” and “using a website without a license,” based on a National Security Agency investigation report, in relation to a Mada Masr story on prisoners’ complaints of abuse in detention facilities. When asked why she trusted the sources cited in the story, Attalah said she had abided by professional journalistic standards and had acted in the public interest. She also pointed to the legally protected right to inform authorities of events through publication, noting that the outlet presents a full range of viewpoints.
