    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     backhome84, an Egyptian living in Cairo, Egypt, shares these images from Coptic Christian marches on October 9. The marches and subsequent clashes between demonstrators and the Egyptian army occurred after a round of anti-Coptic Christian violence saw churches burned.

    backhome84 says: 'The demonstration started in Shobra street [in Cairo], the demonstrators were expressing their anger after the burning of a church in Edfo, Aswan, last Friday [...] They were chanting to raise the Coptic flag, asking to rebuild the church and they were requesting the governor of Aswan to step down.'
