The number of Copts outside Egypt has sharply increased since the beginning of the struggle for independence of Egypt and the subsequent anti-Coptic sentiments within Egypt. Almost over a million Copts have left the country as migrants or as temporary workforce, leading to the establishment of the Coptic diaspora population. The largest communities of the Coptic diaspora in North America, Western Europe, Oceania, Africa and Asia are in United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand. ==Diaspora== Coptic population in Sudan is at about half a million or 1% of Sudanese population. Outside of Egypt and Sudan, the largest Coptic diaspora population is in the United States and Canada, US population numbering about 200,000 (estimates of Coptic organizations ranging as high as a million).〔〔〔〔〔According to published accounts and several Coptic/US sources (including the ''US-Coptic Association''), the Coptic Orthodox Church has between 700,000 and one million members in the United States (c. 2005–2007). ^^(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Why CCU?'' )〕 Smaller communities (below 100,000) are found in Australia,〔〔 Kuwait,〔(Kuwait )〕 Libya,〔("International Religious Freedom Report: Libya" ) ''Jewish Virtual Library''.
