28 Die As Masked Gunmen Attack Egypt's Christians SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, MAY 27, 2017 RAMADAN 1, 1438 AH No: 17240 28 die as masked gunmen attack Egypt’s Christians Min 28º 150 Fils Latest in series of deadly attacks • Amir offers condolences Max 45º EDWA: Gunmen attacked a group of Coptic Christians travel- ling to a monastery in southern Egypt yesterday, killing 28 people and wounding 24, with many children among the vic- tims, Health Ministry officials said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which came on the eve of the holy month of Ramadan. It followed a series of church bombings claimed by Islamic State in a campaign of violence against the Copts. Eyewitnesses said masked men opened fire after stopping the Christians, who were in a bus and other vehicles. Local TV channels showed a bus apparently raked by gunfire and smeared with blood. Clothes and shoes could be seen lying in and around the bus. The attack, which Egypt’s Muslim leaders condemned, happened 15 km from the monastery, a security official on the scene said. Ambulance workers, monks and Muslim clerics were also present but declined to speak. Police armed with assault rifles formed a security perimeter and offi- cials from the public prosecutor’s office were gathering evi- dence and fingerprints. Heavily armed Special Forces arrived later wearing face masks and body armor. The injured were taken to local hospitals and some were being transported to Cairo.

Attacks also continued against Israelis and Jews, with a Palestinian stabbing a policeman near a West Bank settlement before being shot dead by the victim, who was lightly wounded. A Jewish 16-year-old was lightly wounded in a new stabbing in Jerusalem by an 18-year-old Palestinian suspect, who was arrested. In the assault by a Jew, the assailant aged about 20 was arrested and told police he carried out the attack in the southern Israeli city of Dimona because “all Arabs are terrorists”. The victims suffered light to moderate wounds. It marked the first such attack against Palestinians after at least 11 stabbings that have targeted Israelis or Jews since Saturday, killing two of them. Later, a woman was shot after a stabbing attempt in northern Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly condemned the stab- bings by the Jewish suspect, a sign of concerns it could trigger further violence. Palestinians have also rioted in annexed east Jerusalem and the West Bank in recent days, with the unrest raising fears of a wider uprising or even a third intifada.

  • Green Pilgrim City Theological Message Pilgrimage in the Coptic
    Green Pilgrim City Theological Message Pilgrimage in the Coptic Church Since its establishment in the first century, the Coptic Orthodox Church has existed in Egypt and has as one of its principal pillars a movement and way of life that commenced in her deserts and wildernesses and, from there, spread to the whole world. This phenomenon is, of course, the monastic movement that started in the deserts of Egypt in the third Century and still thrives across the country until today. Being central to the lives of many Christians in Egypt and abroad, the monasteries are frequented by pilgrims throughout the year, who reach their thousands on special feast days in the Coptic Calendar. The monasteries have always been essential for spiritual retreat, and in the current climate, have become visitors’ havens of reflection, contemplation and refuge in the midst of a bustling society embattled by historic political reform and the accompanying security and economic pressures Today, thousands of Coptic Christians from across Egypt and around the world make the journey to the monasteries to escape the constant noise of modern life and to share in the gentle silence of the wilderness that our desert fathers and mothers have lived for centuries, experiencing the words of our Creator Himself Who says “be still and know that I am God” (Psalms46:10). These pilgrims are also accompanied by many thousands of non-Coptic visitors throughout the year. The deserts, void of the heavy distractions of civilisation and unblemished by large secular settlements, have been the rich soil from which great wisdom has sprung forth.

The year 2006 is definitely a soccer year. The soccer world cup is hosted in Germany and five African teams have qualified to participate in this big sports event - unfortunately none from East Africa. The East African nations Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda are no soccer powerhouses. The last qualification of the Taifa Stars, the Tanzanian national side, for the African Cup of Nations dates back more than a quarter of a century. At least Kenya’s Harambee Stares qualified for the Africa Cup two years ago. The biggest East African soccer triumph was when Uganda’s Cranes reached the final of this tournament in 1978 and lost to Ghana’s Black Stars. But not even professional optimists or notorious soothsayers dream of an East African team qualifying for the world cup.
