Hatred continues to bathe the beloved African land in blood.
In Algeria there are constant massacres that involve even women, children and the elderly. In Rwanda five missionaries belonging to the Congregation of the Daughters of the Resurrection, as well as two lay co-workers, were killed in the diocese of Nyundo. Two other women religious were seriously wounded. All our hearts are filled with dismay and sadness at these tragic incidents, which cannot fail to rouse the conscience of all humanity. We offer our prayers for the victims of these ferocious massacres.
