* Abune Samuel is under house arrest now. It is not clear whether that is done because of the government's intention to protect him from any attack by the siders of HH or not. It is reported that security forces have snatched away the key of the car (from his driver) the Abune uses in his diocese.

* The Holy Synod has passed resolutions but not clear whether all members of the HS signed on the minute or not. Two of the resolutions written in the minute are: Abune Philipos will be the deputy (Enderasie) of HH who will be responsible in leading the church on behalf of the Synod. Abune Qerlos will lead the Meeting in the days to come.

* Representatives of the Holy Synod are expected to give a press conference soon.

* Abune Yishaq (the manager of the Patriarchate) has been removed from the position.

Let us pray!!!!!!!!!
