Congo: priest and nun killed
December 14th, 2009

BUKAVU,DR Congo - Fr Daniel Cizimya Nakamaga, 51, was killed in the parish in Kabare on Sunday, 6 December at two o'clock in the morning. The statement of the Archdiocese doubts that the killing of Fr Daniel is the result of chance, suggesting that it is a deliberate strategy to attack the Church. 

 

On the evening of 7 November, Sister Denise Kahambo Murahirwa was killed by armed men in uniform who attacked the monastery of Our Lady of Light in Muresha, located 20 kilometres from the town of Bukavu, in the territory of Kabare.

 

In October, the gravity of the situation in Bukavu forced Archbishop Francois Xavier Rusengo of Bukavu to leave the work of the Special Assembly for Africa of the Synod of Bishops and return to his Archdiocese.
