Egypt facing state of emergency after palm sunday church bombings

I think there may be some confusion here. Egypt did not face a state of emergency after Palm Sunday church bombings. However, Egypt did declare a state of emergency in April 2017 after a series of bombings and attacks, including one on Palm Sunday.

On April 9, 2017, two bombings occurred on Palm Sunday, one at St. Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria, Egypt, and another at St. George's Church in Tanta, Egypt. The bombings killed at least 45 people and injured many more.

In response to the attacks, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi declared a three-month state of emergency, which was later extended for another three months. The state of emergency gave the government increased powers to detain and interrogate suspects, as well as to restrict freedom of assembly and movement.

The state of emergency was lifted in June 2018, after the three-month extension expired. However, the country has continued to face security challenges and has implemented various measures to prevent and respond to terrorist attacks.

It's worth noting that Egypt has a long history of declaring states of emergency in response to security threats, and the country has been under a state of emergency on and off since 2013.
