A good friend of Tarek and John’s found this article in Bonjour Egypte:
http://bonjouregypte.com/ArticleDetails.aspx?ArticleID=53890
The article, published yesterday, says that Egypt’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for International Cooperation, Zeyad Bahaa Eddine, is coming to Canada – specifically, to Toronto. He is coming to have “high level discussions” about “ways to support Canada-Egypt economic cooperation”.
Thanks to some of our friends here, we have a summary of the case in Arabic, which we wrote on September 16. Please circulate it to readers of Arabic.
