Different views on peace track
AP says Egypt will have a lot of work to do if wants to generate "new hope for Mideast peace after four bleak years, transforming Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon from pariah to peacemaker and seeking to draw Arab leaders and a wary public into its efforts..." Islam online, meanwhile, features a harsh critique of Egypt's warming up its relations with Israel.

Interesting take
An IHT editorial describes the QIZ agreement as a case of "making undies, not war".

 

Good tees
Young Egyptian golfers do very well in Dubai.

Big web
Big predictions for future internet use in Egypt.

 

Unexpected?
"The government's own human rights body has recommended to President Hosni Mubarak that he scrap emergency laws he says he needs to fight terrorism, but which have been widely condemned as antidemocratic."

Money matters
Egypt issued a decree yesterday scrapping a government requirement that companies sell 75 per cent of their foreign exchange export earnings to banks within a week of receipt.

Canal conundrums
3 per cent increase in Suez Canal fees for next year.. Meanwhile, oil spill on the canal...

Unfortunate complications
Orascom, which had some of its Baghdad based employees kidnapped earlier this year, now has some of its employees taken into custody.
