Romani

Shafiek Agieb is a student who was persecuted by the University

of Asiut, Faculty of Education, after being

refused the right to nominate himself as a lecturer and then a

university professor. As a result, many

Egyptian Copts offered to help the student finish his higher education

abroad, bearing all his expenses, but

Watani told them to wait while they try to find a solution to this

problem from inside Egypt. Dr.

Refa’at Al-Sai’d argued the same thing, saying that the battle of Romani

was in Egypt, and it would not be

right to escape the real battle which had to be won at home, not for Romani’s

sake, but for the sake of

Egypt.
