Pope Shenouda III stressed the necessity of settling the Abou Fana crisis within 15 days for the sake of the country’s security and integrity.
Christian businessman Eid Labib reported the Pope’s refusal of the latest actions by expatriate Copts, who staged a series of demonstrations in several European countries in protest against what they considered as persecution of Copts in Egypt. Labib affirmed that the Pope described expatriate Copts’ conduct as individual and unacceptable.
Mr. Labib made these declarations on Sunday after his return from the US with his work team, which included Mr. Alaa Hasanin, an MP from a constituency close to the monastery, and counselor Hani Aziz, head of the Egyptians Abroad Union.He said that the Pope called on them to solve the monastery problem within 15 days so that expatriate Copts had no excuse to stage more demonstrations.
He also pointed out that the Pope had phoned Governor Ahmed Diaa Eddin to offer his condolences for the death of his sister’s son.Mr. Alaa said that the Pope had urged once more for the “real assaulters” - as he put it - mentioned in the investigations to be captured and for the monastery walls to be built quickly.
He added that the Pope stressed on the necessity to hold a meeting between the Governor and Malawi Bishop, Anba Demitrios, to bring their points of view closer and solve the problem.He also affirmed that the meeting would be held today and would discuss ways to legalize the situation of illegal occupiers and the possibility to hold a meeting behind closed doors between the two parties to end the conflict.
