DETERIORATING SITUATION IN NORTH KIVU BRINGS CONCERNED RELIGIOUS SUPERIORS TOGETHER PDF Print E-mail

DETERIORATING SITUATION IN NORTH KIVU BRINGS CONCERNED RELIGIOUS SUPERIORS TOGETHEROn Friday, March 13, 2015, religious superiors in Rome who have communities in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (specifically the province of North Kivu) gathered at the general house of the Augustinians of the Assumption to discuss the deteriorating state of affairs in this area of the country. The country has been suffering from civil conflict for almost 20 years and the United Nations has estimated that more than 5 million people have died in the RDC during this time directly from the violence or indirectly from malnutrition and disease occasioned by it.

Since this past October a new series of atrocities has occurred in the diocese of Beni-Butembo. Hundreds of inhabitants of the region have been brutally slaughtered either in night-time raids or while they are working in their fields. Theories concerning the identity of the assassins abound but no one has been able to positively identify them because they wear stolen uniforms from the national army and leave no survivors. What makes the situation even worse in the minds of these victims is that, given crises in other parts of the world (Middle east, Nigeria), the world press has taken little notice of what is happening in the Congo at the moment. These people feel that they have been forgotten and abandoned.

THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD

O God, who on this day, through your Only Begotten Son, have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord's Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light, of life.
