The head of the Coptic Orthodox Church in the UK has offered his prayers for people in Egypt a year to the day since the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak.
In a statement to mark the anniversary, Bishop Angaelos offered his prayers for those who have lost their lives or suffered as a result of the social and political upheaval in the last year.
He noted that the uprising had still to meet the people’s expectations of a more free and fair democratic Egypt.
“In reality, at least in the short term, the transition has brought greater social divisions and subsequently given rise to increased attacks on minorities, mainly Christians,” he said.
“We therefore offer our prayers for all those who have suffered at this time as a result of these challenges, as well as those affected by an ailing economy, increasing unemployment and general breakdown in law and order.”
