Ministry calls for speeches on national unity in all mosques

In an attempt to curtail sectarian violence, the Ministry of Religious Endowments decided to unify Friday’s prayer speech to talk about national unity.

Also, a delegation of Al-Azhar scholars paid a visit to the village of Atfeeh on Wednesday to express their solidarity with the Coptic residents there after their church was assaulted.

For their part, the “Ansar al-Sunna” (Sunna Advocates) group and the “Ashraf” (Nobles) syndicate also condemned sectarian violence.

Meanwhile, the 25 January youth called for a million-man demonstration in Tahrir Square on Friday for the same purpose.
