All theocracies throughout the ages have proven to be a failure simply because religion and beliefs are bigger than being monopolized by a ruler, writes Bishop Yuhanna Qultah Sa’īd, Deputy Patriarch for the Coptic Catholic Church in Egypt, in an opinion article.

Egyptians are capable of building their nation of the future on condition they show utmost loyalty to their homeland and a strong will for renewal and change while they believe in the course of history, unity of the human race and equality among the sons of one nation.
