President Sisi says the company responsible for building the New Capital (which is majority owned by Egypt's military) wants to RENT the govt district to the Egyptian state for 4 billion Egyptian pounds a year

Most states have a military. Egypt's military has a state 🧵

[Timothy E Kaldas @tekaldas]

The @IMFNews claim to be apolitical is nonsense. In Egypt it allows itself to demand subsidy cuts but suggests it can't demand military companies pay into state coffers because that's "political." Both are political. One harms poor whereas other would harm elites & benefit public

The embrace of MBS is being presented in terms of a trade off between idealism and realism, but this is wrong. There’s nothing realistic about yoking US policy to the whims of a corrupt, brutal autocrat. We should’ve learned this by now.

The US-Saudi rapprochement is premised on the idea that the security and prosperity of the American people requires consigning the people of the Middle East to a future of repression. I absolutely reject that.

Stunning - and quite nationalist- dress on Saudi tennis player Yara Al-Haqbani on cover of annual Saudi issue of Vogue Arabia. By Saudi designer Tima Abid.

Saudi soft power takes much more diverse forms in a post-Wahhabi age investing in creative industries.
