超过150人,包括许多基督徒, 被屠杀 布基那法索的伊斯兰恐怖分子告诉教皇基金会援助有需要的教会(ACN)。
10月6日,a 伊斯兰恐怖袭击 事件发生在非洲国家东部地区的曼尼镇。 几个月来,叛乱分子增加了他们的暴行和传播恐怖的决心,这使得他们能够控制大约一半的领土。
Despite the massacre, which local Christians describe as “beyond horrible,” the community of believers said without hesitation that “even if the terrorists burned everything, they didn’t burn our faith!”
当地消息人士告诉ACN,恐怖分子在袭击市场之前首先切断了所有电话通信,许多人在参加周日弥撒后聚集在那里。 然后,他们不分青红皂白地开火,抢劫商店,放火焚烧几座建筑物,活活烧死一些受害者。
第二天,恐怖分子返回攻击医务人员,杀死正在接受治疗的伤员。 然后,10月8日,他们又回到了村庄,这次杀死了所有他们能找到的人。
ACN报告说,许多受害者是来自其他地方的人,他们因类似袭击而流离失所,在曼尼找到了避难所。 9月底,一位来自罗洛区的牧师 告诉教皇基金会 自2023年5月8日以来,他们已经接收了2000人,包括天主教徒和穆斯林,因伊斯兰恐怖主义而流离失所。
“When the extremists arrive, either they kill the whole population, or — having killed several people at random to show that they are serious — they force the people to leave their houses before nightfall,” Father André Poré said on that occasion.
On Oct. 9, Pierre Claver Malgo, the bishop of the Diocese of Fada N’Gourma, sent a message to the priests, consecrated persons, and laypeople of his jurisdiction in which he described the attacks as “barbaric” and expressed his “sincere compassion for all the grieving families.”
He also recalled that “any threat to human dignity and life must touch the very heart of the Church” and emphasized the importance of not losing hope “for a better tomorrow.”
据ACN称,布基纳法索在整个萨赫勒地区的极端主义暴力程度最高,这反映在8月底在曼尼和巴尔萨洛戈的袭击中,估计至少有400人被这些伊斯兰武装团伙杀害。
However, the Catholic Church remains steadfast in its promotion of peace and fraternity between Christians and Muslims, as expressed by Poré, parish priest of St. Thérèse of the Child Jesus in Rollo: “We are united and are holding many more interfaith meetings these days. When distributing aid to the displaced, the parish does not distinguish between religious groups, and this has impressed the Muslims and strengthened our ties.”
