Confirmed by the Coptic Church:

"A caption on the five-minute video read: "The people of the cross, followers of the hostile Egyptian church."

Lots of Egyptians in Libya searching for work.

They did it again, this time to 28 Ethiopians and Eritreans- including one Muslim, who is said to have refused to let his friends be carried off and instead was executed along with the rest of them. There've been huge protests all over the country, both mourning for the dead- in Ethiopian custom it is traditional to visit the family of the deceased, which thousands of people have done. Yesterday the government tried to preempt spontaneous rallies by hosting their own, but the PM was apparently booed, with people calling for the government to do something (I don't know what) and reduce unemployment, and the protest ended with the police being called in and arrests being made, with the opposition (as usual) being blamed. One gov't official tried to insinuate that one party was even made up of ISIS sympathisers- despite probably being more nationalist than the ruling party!
