Article summary: 

A crisis broke out yesterday between the Minya governorate and the Maghāghah bishopric because of the disagreement over the licenses to build the new bishopric. Maghāghah Copts organized a peaceful demonstration protesting against suspending the licenses and threatened to escalate the issue to Pope Shenouda III.

The Minya governor pointed out that it is impossible to give a license for building a new church only 10 meters from another established church.
