Coptic Solidarity applauds these appointments, as there were so far no Copts among the 27 governors and 18 deputy governors in the entire country.

Key Points: 
  • Coptic Solidarity applauds these appointments, as there were so far no Copts among the 27 governors and 18 deputy governors in the entire country.
  • The appointments represent a positive step but should be understood within the context of the near absence of Coptic leaders in most every level of government, national security, academics, and more.
  • Coptic Solidarity urges more concrete steps to remedy this ugly situation.
  • Coptic Solidarity urges all concerned to focus on the reality of the Copt's situation, not on the polished rhetoric and the token appointment of a mere two Coptic governors.
