President el-Sisi
Cairo - MENA
Egypt's presidency mourned on Friday the death of renowned columnist Ahmed Ragab.
The satirical writer, whose daily satirical short column "Nos Kelma" has always brought a smile to the faces of Al Akhbar newspaper's readers, passed away early in the day at the age of 86 after a long struggle with illness.
"Ragab will remain a symbol for the national press and his merits at both the personal and professional levels will never be forgotten," the presidency said in a statement.
He will be buried later today.

Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
