سريلانكا تلاحق إسلاميين متهمين بارتكاب اعتداءات الفصح
تلاحق سريلانكا الاثنين إسلاميين متهمين بارتكاب موجة اعتداءات خلفت 290 قتيلا الاحد في سلسلة اعمال عنف نسبتها السلطات الى حركة اسلامية محلية.
ومع استمرار عدم تبني اي جهة الاعتداءات، اعلنت رئاسة البلاد التي يبلغ عدد سكانها 21 مليون نسمة حال الطوارىء اعتبارا من منتصف ليل الاثنين (18,30 ت غ) لحماية "الامن العام". ويهدف هذا الاجراء الى تسهيل عمل الشرطة والجيش.
وخلال بضع ساعات يوم احد الفصح، زرعت اعتداءات الموت في فنادق وكنائس في امكنة عدة من سريلانكا التي لم يسبق ان شهدت عنفا مماثلا منذ انتهاء الحرب الاهلية قبل عشرة اعوام.

Sri Lanka authorities warned of Easter church bombings weeks before Sunday's massacre, officials say
After a day of deadly Easter Sunday attacks, counterterrorism expert Bobby Chacon says the massacre shows the radical ideology is spreading.
Weeks before coordinated bombings ripped through churches and luxury hotels -- killing nearly 300 people on Easter Sunday -- authorities in Sri Lanka received warnings a domestic radical Muslim group would attack the nation on the Christian holy day.
Despite multiple warnings from international intelligence agencies, however, Sri Lanka’s security officials reportedly failed to heed the alerts and apparently took no action to protect against a potential attack. Authorities were first alerted to the threat April 4.

Christian Minority
82. Egypt is home to the largest Christian community in the Arab world. The Special Rapporteur interviewed Coptic Egyptians forced to leave their homes and villages in Upper Egypt after community conflicts with Muslim neighbours. Forced evictions of Coptic families were also reported in Basra village, Ameriya/Alexandria, in Tud/Luxor, in Shebin al- Qanatir/Qulubiya, and in Maiana Bahnasia and Kafr Darwish/Beni Suef.
83. The Special Rapporteur learned that in some instances forced evictions were ordered by community reconciliation mechanisms that serve as dispute resolution tools. However, these reconciliation mechanisms do not necessarily ensure a fair hearing for members of minorities, nor are their rulings always in conformity with national or international human rights law. State officials have been present at some community reconciliation sessions, but reportedly have failed to intervene when rulings legitimised the arbitrary expulsion of Coptic families from their homes and sometimes expressed public support for such decisions. Official judicial bodies have also failed to provide legal protection against community reconciliation decisions and law enforcement authorities have, in several instances, refused to provide security to those who wanted to return to their homes.

الجسد المصرى يلفظ الغرغرينا الإخوانية
بقلم خالد منتصر
كنت قد كتبت منذ عدة سنوات عندما علت دعوات مصالحة الإخوان من بعض الحنجوريين من الذين يخبئون حسن البنا بين ضلوعهم ويدّعون أنهم ليسوا إخواناً، وقلت إنه لا تصالح بين الجسد والغرغرينا، قلت إن الغرغرينا جزء فاسد ضار ميت لو ظل موجوداً بلونه الأسود سيموت الجسد كله، ولا يمكن أن يتصالح الجسد مع هذه الغرغرينا أبداً لأنها تُفرز سمومها، رغماً عن أى محاولات للحلول الوسط بالأدوية، وغالباً ما يصل الجرّاح إلى قرار سريع ببتر الجزء المصاب، حفاظاً على حياة المريض.

Egyptian Christians Left With Nowhere To Pray But The Street
STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
On a recent visit to Egypt, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo toured a towering new cathedral. He praised the authoritarian government of President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi for supporting Egypt's Christian minority. But that is not the whole story in this majority Muslim nation. In some parts of Egypt, the government will not grant permits for churches. And tens of thousands of worshippers are left to pray in the street. NPR's Jane Arraf reports.
UNIDENTIFIED GROUP #1: (Foreign language spoken).
JANE ARRAF, BYLINE: It's Sunday morning, and the Mar Gerges church in the town of Tayeba is almost full. It's a Coptic Orthodox service - three hours long. Children dart in and out. There are stained glass windows casting rainbow-colored light on the worshippers. Men are on one side, the women on the other. Most of the men wear galabayas - the long robes of the countryside. Their hands, raised in prayer, are weathered from working in the fields. A lot of the families in the battered, wooden pews have come from surrounding towns and villages, where their churches are closed.

UK: Unrepentant Islamic State bride stripped of citizenship, enraged family headed to court
BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS29 COMMENTS
“ISIS bride Shamima Begum has been stripped of her British citizenship after showing no remorse for joining the terror group.”
Her lawyer Tasnime Akunjee stated that her family is considering “all legal avenues to challenge the decision.” At whose expense? And now the family has launched its battle, vowing to “take Home Secretary Sajid Javid to court.”
Javid has “warned he will not hesitate to prevent the return of Britons who travelled to join ISIS.” Kudos to Javid. This should be a policy followed by every Western nation, out of concern for the safety of its citizens. Policymakers should keep in mind the people whom the Islamic State beheaded, raped and tortured.

Shamima Begum: Ex-Bethnal Green schoolgirl who joined IS 'wants to come home'
One of three schoolgirls who left east London in 2015 to join the Islamic State group says she has no regrets, but wants to return to the UK.
In an interview with the Times, Shamima Begum, now 19, talked about seeing "beheaded heads" in bins - but said that it "did not faze her".
Speaking from a refugee camp in Syria, she said she was nine months pregnant and wanted to come home for her baby.
She said she'd had two other children who had both died.
