Copts in Egypt

Copts are the indigenous Christian community of Egypt, primarily belonging to the Coptic Orthodox Church, one of the oldest Christian denominations in the world. They trace their roots back to the early Christian church and hold a unique cultural and religious identity. Copts make up about 10-15% of Egypt's population and have faced various challenges, including religious discrimination and persecution. Despite this, they play a significant role in Egyptian society, contributing to its rich history and culture, while advocating for their rights and coexistence with the predominantly Muslim population.
