Some parties and a group of civil society organizations issued a statement on the forced displacement of Christian families in which they said that there is religious fanaticism in the society for many reasons, topped by the practices and schemes of the former regime, which still continue under the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF).

"We're holding the state authorities, namely SCAF, fully responsible for the incidents as the ruling military council has not sent any forces to contain the situation there. Moreover, the interior ministry stood idle as if it was not concerned with these developments and even directly contributed to the wasting of the rule of law," read the statement.
