• Egypt's President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi has inaugurated a military base devoted to the country. Located in the Marsa Matrouh governorate west of Alexandria, Egypt says the base is the largest in the Middle East. • The base is named after late President Mohammed Naguib, an Egyptian army officer who became the country's first president. The new military base will play a key role in the defence of the North West and the coastal towns and the defense of a number of major military bases of the country. • Egypt's army announced earlier that it established another base, called Barrani, close to the porous western border with Libya to prevent the infiltration of militants.
