EGYPT:

- An Egyptian company funded by the government launches the search engine Pharaoh, in a bid to contest the search engine Yahoo! founded in March.

- On the first anniversary of his term as Military-Commissar, Faris Alfarsi inaugaurates the launch of Egypt's space industry, with the launch of the first Egyptian satellite put into space independently. This is generally recieved well, though critics say Alfarsi is spending his country's budget on toys rather than welfare.

- Taxes on using the Suez Canal are slightly lowered, to increase its attraction to shipping companies.

- I've come to the sudden horrifying realisation that the Ottomans have slaughtered the Arab League, and now Egypt has no influence over anyone save apparently Saudi-Arabia. '''But how come the Arab League didn't all declare war on Turkey when they invaded Syria huh? mtcat smh man cmon muh realism'''

- A meeting between Egyptian and Arabian delegates in Cairo reaffirms the country's special relations and Arabic brotherhood. We are united in hostility towards the imperialist power of Turkey and our desire to remain free.

- An ambassador to Iran is appointed for the first time in 25 years, as part of Egyptian efforts to gain closer relations with the fellow Middle-Eastern Power.
