Main topics: Human rights, foreign policy, government corruption, economy, and water resources

Most balanced outlet: Borkena, because it covers a variety of topics with a focus that transitions between the center and the left without losing informative relevance.

The right didn't cover: The right almost entirely omitted news regarding corruption in the ministry, the movement of political prisoners, and Reuters' press freedom.
The left didn't cover: The left did not cover the diplomatic advances with Thailand nor Ethiopia's official stance regarding Egypt's accusations over water.

“The week shows a clear division: the right acts as a spokesperson for the state, while the left focuses on accountability and human rights.”
