 THE BOUTROS GHALI WE DON'T ALL KNOW, September 26, 1996
Although Boutros Ghali Pasha is written up in history as the only Copt ever to occupy the post of Prime Minister, there was another one --Youssef Wahba Pasha who, for a very brief period, headed a purported Council of Ministers during the British Protectorate in 1919/20.
The much respected Wassif Ghali Pasha (son of the first Boutros Ghali and uncle of the second) held the foreign affairs portfolio in each of the Wafd governments of 1924, 1928, 1930 and 1937.
That is not to say that Ghali was ever interested in Coptic affairs or their well being, but rather the sense of insecurity that the majority of the Copts share, which ultimately leads to a long journey of seeking acceptance.
