Tensions are high in Egypt following the brutal attack on Christians in Minya [Minyā] on May 27, leaving 29 Christians, among them ten children, dead and 25 others wounded. Father Yo’annis [Yū'annis] of Qufada  [Qufādā] told us that most of the Christians came from the dioceses of Maghagha [Maghāghah] and Fashn [al-Fashn], south of Beni Suef [Banī Swif].  There is widespread grief and anger in the country, not only in these two dioceses.​
