Article summary: 

In al-Marāghah, Sohag governorate, security apparatuses are trying to contain clashes that erupted following a fight between a Muslim worker and a Copt after the latter attacked the former and beat him to death. The family of the deceased gathered and hurled stones and Molotov cocktails at Coptic houses and stores which resulted in two Coptic deaths.

Article full text: 

The fitnah started when the Coptic man wanted to build a fence in front of his house that will disrupt the traffic. The Muslim man refused which escalated to a fight that led to the latter death.

In al-Ahrām, page 14, December 1, 2011, the Azhar initiative Family House states that Sohag fitnah is not sectarian.
