The silent war in Africa

An Egyptian Christian mourns as he stands next to a blood-stained painting of Jesus Christ on January 2, 2011 outside the Al-Qiddissine (The Saints) church in Alexandria, following a New Year's Eve car bomb attack on the Coptic church in the northern Egyptian city in which 21 people were killed. Egyptian newspapers warned on Sunday that "civil war" could break out unless Christians and Muslims close ranks after the deadly attack on the Coptic church that triggered angry protests.
