Egypt legalises 82 unlicensed churches; total reaches 1,882 churches since 2017
While assuredly not ideal, General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is the best ruler Egypt has had in a long time.
[AlAhram] The committee to legalise the status of unlicensed churches was established in 2017 by the prime minister

A cabinet committee tasked with legalising the status of unlicensed Christian places of worship approved on Monday the legalisation of 82 churches and service buildings that had been operating without a permit, the cabinet said in a statement.

This brings the total number of Christian places of worship and service buildings that have been granted legal status so far to 1,882, Cabinet Spokesman Nader Saad said.

In 2016, Egypt’s parliament approved a long-awaited law regulating the building and renovation of churches.

The committee to legalise the status of unlicensed churches was established in 2017 by the prime minister.

The 10-member committee comprises one Christian representative, six government officials from several ministries, and representatives from the national security apparatus, the intelligence apparatus, and the administrative control body.

#2 Don't forget that ValJar's sock puppet, Soetoro, wanted the Muslim Brotherhood to rule instead of Gen. Sisi

#3 ^ Expect the same policies from nominal Catholic Joe who is also a sock puppet. We're not entirely certain whose hand is up the puppet's butt. It could be ValJar.

#4 Now if the Egyptians can protect them from getting blown up or parishioners getting shot up, that would help.
