Egypt is a country with significant Christian roots. At one time, more than half of the population was Christian. Nowadays, they form 13% of the population. The persecution levels are down in recent years. The majority of the persecution is contained in the Upper Egypt region. This territory is rural, and radical Islamic groups influence the population. In Urban areas, the persecution is essentially social isolation. Although the government’s official narrative is the inclusion of Christians, the reality is far from it. Christian Believers face discrimination in the workplace, and the majority of Christian youth remain unemployed. The converts from Islam face the worst persecution. They risk everything from social isolation to losing their lives for their faith. The restrictions on church buildings are more relaxed than before.
