Attacks Against Christians in Egypt Intensifying

Persecution against believers has happened for thousand of years now, but a new report is indicating that violence against Egypt’s Coptic Orthodox Christian minority, which is one of the largest and oldest groups of Christians in the Middle East, is intensifying at an alarming rate in the last several weeks. Of course, there has been no official response to the persecution from the White House or an of the Obama Administration.
Christians in Egypt have been the victims of at least a dozen sectarian attacks since the end of May and activists and politicians say the government has done little to stop it. One example of this is the recent attack that left 70 homes set ablaze and stripped and humiliated an elderly woman publicly as an example to other CHRISTIANS IN Egypt! “It is escalating in a very short time,” said Mina Thabet, programme director for minorities and vulnerable groups with the Egyptian Commission of Rights and Freedoms.

 ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ is set to have its World Premiere on Sunday September 25, 2016 and will start showing across all Nigerian cinemas from Friday 30th September, 2016. The movie which is co-written by Ay and Dianne Diaz is directed by Robert Peters, the US based multiple award winning film maker who also directed ‘30 Days in Atlanta’.

The movie will be distributed by FilmOne Distribution, Nigeria’s fastest growing film distribution company (behind box office successes like Fifty, Wives on Strike and Ghana Must Go). Speaking on the expectations of the movie Moses Babatope, Group Executive Director and COO FilmOne, expressed FilmOne Distribution’s delight to partner with AY’s Corporate World Entertainment for the film’s distribution. “AY has perfected the recipe for entertaining audiences all over the world and as he adds ‘A Trip to Jamaica’ to his hugely impressive resume, we are proud to partner with him to bring this film to Nigerian audiences.”
