Houses of al-Arish displaced Copts looted

Houses of al-Arish displaced Copts looted

It is some two weeks now that the Copts of the North Sinai town of al-Arish have

had to flee their homes from the face of Islamists terrorists who threatened to kill

them, and actually killed seven Copts in the space of three weeks.

[https://en.wataninet.com/coptic-affairs- coptic-affairs/coptic- affairs/coptic-exodus-

from-al- arish/19144/] Most of the internally displaced families landed at the Suez

Canal town of Ismailiya which received them with open arms, offering them

shelter, food, education and work. Other families headed for Port Said, Assiut and

Beni Sweif.

This morning, the Arish neighbours of Malak Adly and Adly Soliman who are now

settled in Arish, notified them that their homes had been broke into and looted. Mr

Soliman filed a complaint with Ismailiya police. Another Arishi, Maher Abul-

Kheir was informed by a neighbour that a window in his house had been smashed

but nothing was stolen,.

The Arish Copts are concerned that, in the absence of police protection, their

houses and belongings would be plundered, especially in the neighbourhoods of al-

Safa, al-Zohour and al-Samran which lack security control.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
