The Takeaway: US looks to Gulf to help break deadlock in Nile Dam dispute

Shuttle diplomacy picks up: US Horn of Africa envoy Jeffrey Feltman was in Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates last week to de-escalate a potential conflict between Egypt, Sudan and Ethiopia over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD). Samuel Ramani has the background here on why the UAE which has strong ties with all three countries is emerging as a key diplomatic broker and partner in this effort. Why it matters: For Ethiopia, the GERD offers hope of a boost for its economic and energy development, potentially positioning it as an electricity exporter in the region. For Egypt, the Nile is vital in another way, providing over 95% of its water needs; Sudan, too, depends on Nile water. Both countries are concerned about water supply disruptions from the dam and have called for an internationally brokered arrangement for the management of its water flow.

Skip the pyramids, hit the nightclubs: Badia Masabni with her cabaret troupe Credit: © Collection of Lucie Ryzova After the Revolution of 1919, when Egypt gained her sovereignty, the new kingdom bristled with possibility. Egypt was now, as one American jazz musician put it, “a country where the Egyptians reign, the English rule, and everybody does as he pleases”. By 1922, when Tutankhamun’s tomb was being uncovered in the Valley of the Kings, Cairo had become, says Raphael Cormack, “one of the most exciting cities in the world for anyone to spend the night in during the 20th century”. Those who enjoyed the Arabian Nights included businessmen, spies, émigrés, and activists from Germany, Poland, Italy, Argentina, Japan, England and Greece. If the 1920s roared louder in Cairo than in any other capital, the female entertainers roared loudest of all.

But it was on the stages of theatres and nightclubs in Cairo, in the roaring 20s, that early feminists first asserted themselves, a new book will argue.
