Brotherhood Attacks on Coptic Sites
After dispersing the Rabaa and Nahda sit-ins in August 2013, Egypt experienced a widespread wave of attacks on Coptic churches and institutions. More than 60 churches and organizations across 17 governorates were targeted, with a total of 402 incidents involving arson, vandalism, and theft. Notably, governorates like Minya were heavily affected, recording 281 cases of assault, making it the most severely impacted. These attacks were part of attempts to ignite sectarian strife in the country, but the stance of the Egyptian Muslims, Christians, and the church itself prevented the escalation of the conflict into a comprehensive societal confrontation.
