He pointed out that “Sawiris aims with this tweet that there is an actor behind the incident, without possessing evidence, a press statement, or a statement from the church or any witness. He also spoke in the form of an official spokesman for the Copts, and this language is unacceptable,” considering that “Sawiris incites to the state, and to spread false information that is not true.”
Bakri called on the Public Prosecutor to “investigate Sawiris to stir up sedition and set fire to a country that faces challenges from within and without.”
He directed his speech to Sawiris, saying: “What did you do to the church? Did you go to offer condolences to the families of the victims? Did you go to visit the injured in hospitals?… Brother Sawiris, do not slander the Egyptian state.”
I did not want to write a condolence before knowing the details of the accident, because in Upper Egypt we do not accept condolences until we know the details and know the perpetrator! God is the avenger! And it is he who will bring the right of the victims.. My condolences to all of Egypt, to all Muslims and Christians, because everyone who worships God is sad ????
