Bishop Makarios of Minya stated that the Armed Forces have put a final plan for the reconstruction and restoration of churches that were burnt and destroyed in August. The first phase will start in December, 2013. Bishop Makarios decided to establish a museum including some of the burnt icons and some of the ruins in order to remind people of the sacrifice Copts gave to the homeland (Robert Al Fāris, Watanī, Nov. 10, p.11). Read the original text in Arabic.
