Yesterday we shared with you the story about 4000 Muslims attacking Coptic Christians in Egypt, and we received some great feedback from you all on that post. Thank you for the wonderful feedback.
Today, we wanted to share with you another article from The Assyrian International News Agency that is heartbreaking. According to this article, 9 more Christians have died, and 150 were injured when Egyptian army fired live ammunition on Copts.
Eight homes and 20 garbage recycling factories owned by Copts have been torched, as well as 30 garbage collection vehicles.
The incident started when 500 Coptic demonstrators from Manshier Nasr, also known as "Garbage City," which is near the Monastery, were on their way to join the Coptic protest near the Egyptian TV Building, to show their solidarity with the Copts of the village of Soul in Atfif, who were forcibly displaced from their village and their church torched (AINA 3-5-2011). Nearly 15,000 Muslims from the nearby area of Sayeda Aisha and Mokattam, who were armed with weapons including automatic guns, confronted the Copts.
