The Coptic Patriarch expressed his hope for “solutions that satisfy everyone”. We always pray for the Nile River itself in every mass, confident that the hand of God can work because it is the ruler of all.”Meanwhile President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi on Sunday wished all Egyptians a happy Sham al-Nessim and Easter Sunday. “I congratulate the great people of Egypt on the occasion of the celebrations of Sham al-Nessim and the glorious Easter Day, which reflect the unity of this nation and the cohesion of its people.”“Egypt has proven throughout all ages that its Muslims and Copts are a single fabric that will never dissipate… Long live Egypt, and long live its people and army until the Day of Judgment,” Sisi said. Sisi congratulations to Pope Tawadros II on Easter Sunday.
