Dayr Jarnous residents fear they are exposed to another terrorist attack

Reuters’ Ali Abdelaty recounts the horror witnessed by the victims of the terrorist attack on a group of Coptic Christians traveling to a monastery in Minya. Abdelaty talks to a 10-year-old son of one of the victims, who is now “receiving therapy at a local church, in the absence of any treatment from the government.”

Meanwhile, Nina Shea writes that the Western media has been largely ignoring thekilling of Coptic Christians in Egypt by Daesh — to the peril of the whole region. In a piece for Foreign Affairs, Shea looks at the recent attacks on Copts with an eye that the community is under siege and if no improvement in their security is made, it risks severely destabilizing the Middle East as Coptic Christians are the region’s largest non-Muslim community.
