The whole country is in a state of disorder and impasse. The most violent of the demonstrations have been taking place in Cairo or in Alexandria, but there have also been outbreaks in Minia, a town not far from where the community is located: teenagers of 14-16 years old breaking into shops and public buildings... confrontations with the police... fear of burglaries... |

L'Arche al Fulk
|
Each person is worried about the days to come. The decision was taken to close the house and the workshop for a few days, to allow time to see how the situation is going to develop. The people with a disability have been welcomed into the homes of the assistants. We hope that this arrangement will not go on too long.
After a very tense start to the year in Egypt, marked by the violence targeted at Christians, the hardships and uncertainties continue... but also with a real hope. Mamdouh, the community leader for Al Fulk, along with the members of the community, asks us to pray for them and for their country. |
