A perspective from someone on-the-ground in Egypt:

We are very thankful for the peaceful presidential election back in May. President El-Sisi won with 96.9%; ten million more votes than former President Morsi got in the runoff of the 2012 election. It was clear that the majority of the Egyptian people wanted Sisi to be the president. The Muslim Brotherhood continues to try to destabilise the government through different terrorist attacks and suicide bombings. In spite of that, the security is getting better day by day. The government and the Egyptian people are determined to end Muslim Brotherhood’s atrocities.

Religious Freedom is still an issue and still there are problems. Two people are currently detained under Blasphemy law and one convert is in jail sentenced to six years imprisonment because he was reporting on the atrocities committed by Muslim Brotherhood against Christians in Minya.

For more information on helping Christians suffering because of their conversion from Muslim backgrounds, you can visit the website of an organization called Set My People Free to Worship Me.
