☆ ‘We Want Our Real Lives Back’: For Gazans, Egypt Is Safe, but It’s Not Home
  + stars: | 2024-07-11 | by ( Vivian Yee | Fatma Fahmy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
In Gaza, they owned olive trees, flower gardens, factories, stores and homes they had built and tended for decades. Now, in the Egyptian capital of Cairo, where tens of thousands of Palestinians have fled, they find themselves in rented apartments overlooking concrete. They have few job prospects, dwindling savings and no schools for the children — a new world they know is safe, but hardly feels like a future. Physically, the Palestinians are in Egypt. Mentally, they are holding on to the memory of a Gaza that no longer exists.

☆ Egypt's cratering economy drives many to risky migrant route
  + stars: | 2023-10-06 | by ( Mariam Rizk | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +6 min
The surge in numbers leaving Egypt in recent years coincides with Egypt's worsening economy. The pandemic hit Egypt's vital tourist industry and the Ukraine war made investors more risk averse, driving them away from Egyptian markets. MINIBUS TO LIBYAThe Egyptian authorities have largely stopped migrant boat departures from Egypt's north coast since 2016. More migrant boats now leave from eastern Libya, close to Egypt, than from the west in the divided nation. 'COUNTRIES IN CRISIS'President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and other Egyptian officials say Egypt is doing what it can to halt the migrant flow.

☆ Sudan's war scatters country's emergent art scene
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Adam Makary | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Abdullah is a member of a youthful art scene that gained momentum from the popular uprising against autocrat Omar al-Bashir and finds itself scattered by war four years later. "We've always been repressed, especially during Bashir's time," said 28-year-old Rahiem Shadad, who co-founded Downtown Gallery in Sudan's capital in 2019. Shadad's gallery has raised just over $8,500 of a $30,000 target to support artists financially during the war. Painter and retired art professor Salah Abdelhay fled to Egypt with his wife and two daughters.

☆ Egyptian female Islamic chanters break into male-dominated field

Then at the age of 17, her mother encouraged her to learn "Maqamat" - the art of singing Arabic music melodies which would prepare her for Inshad chanting. Now 27, she is the founder of "Al Hoor" - an all female Islamic chanting troupe in Egypt. "I felt women were underrepresented in this field and I wanted us to take part in developing the art form of chanting," she said. Shaimaa El Nouby, another Egyptian female chanter, said she faced similar challenges. "I want to develop chanting as an art form while protecting the old schools of Inshad," she said.
☆ Egypt's Nile Delta farmland salts up as temperatures, and seas, rise
  + stars: | 2022-11-17 | by ( Sarah El Safty Farah Saafan | Sarah El Safty | Farah Saafan | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
Rising salinity in the Delta has multiple causes, experts and farmers say, including overextraction of groundwater and excessive use of fertilizers and pesticides. "With time, with the sea level higher, that line of salinity will go down into the Delta. EVAPORATIONSea water intrusion and salinity also threaten the Mekong Delta in Vietnam and the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta in Bangladesh. "You have to do much better job in a place like the Nile Delta because the water just evaporates quickly," she said. Rice cultivation helps wash the soil, but the government has imposed restrictions on the crop in parts of the Delta to conserve scarce water.
