Egypt, on Thursday, 21 May, condemned what it described as the inauguration of an alleged “embassy” for the “Republic of Somaliland” in occupied East Jerusalem, asserting that the move is illegal, rejected, and incompatible with international law. In its statement, Egypt stated the move violates the legal and historical status of occupied Jerusalem and reaffirmed its refusal to recognize any unilateral steps that aim to legitimize an “illegal reality” there. The Egyptian government emphasized that East Jerusalem has been occupied Palestinian territory since 1967 and stressed that any attempts to alter its legal and historical status produce no legal effect. Egypt also underlined that East Jerusalem’s status as occupied Palestinian territory is reflected in relevant UN Security Council resolutions, including resolutions 242, 252, and 2334, which state that measures taken by Israel to change the city’s status have no legal validity and amount to a violation of international law. Alongside its position on Jerusalem, Egypt reiterated its “full support” for the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Somalia, while rejecting any unilateral measures that undermine Somali unity or sovereignty.

The Education Development Fund, which operates under the Prime Minister’s Office, announced on Friday, 15 May, the launch of a new Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) assessment through the Egyptian Center for Testing, aiming to support the early detection of behavioural and developmental challenges in children. ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder commonly diagnosed in childhood and is associated with difficulties related to attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The condition can affect a child’s learning, behaviour, and social interaction in both school and home environments. According to the fund, the assessment is designed to help parents and teachers better understand behavioural patterns related to attention, concentration, and hyperactivity, particularly within educational settings. The tool uses an AI-supported scientific model to analyse responses and provide immediate results accompanied by simplified explanations, with the aim of helping families and educators make more informed educational and behavioural decisions. Officials said the assessment was developed to be user-friendly and accessible for both parents and teachers, offering quick evaluations and simplified interpretations of children’s behaviour at home and in school environments. According to the statement, the initiative forms part of broader efforts to modernise educational assessment systemsContinue reading "Egypt Launches AI-Based ADHD Assessment Tool for Children"
