EGYPT 20/11/2011
In the build up to the first stage of elections planned for 28 November, religious minorities in Egypt are in need of our prayers. This year has seen an increase in sectarian violence, with over 44 incidents reported so far, compared with 53 from 2008 to 2010. Then there is the military’s attack of peaceful protestors in early October. The nation is in desperate need of our prayers.
