Sudan: Lord’s Resistance Army murders nun
(February 09, 2011) The Lord’s Resistance Army, LRA, has murdered a 37-year-old nun,
according to Bishop Edward Hiiboro Kussala of Tombura-Yambio, south Sudan. The LRA is a brutal group that has moved into southern Sudan after compiling a bloody record of human-rights abuses in northern Uganda.
Speaking to the Catholic Charity Organisation “Aid to the Church in Need,” of the recent incidents of kidnappings and murders in Sudan, the Bishop said “Each day that goes by without a solution to the LRA problem, is another day of terror and pain for those of us living under constant threat of renewed attacks. The threat of violence widening could stress any new government in South Sudan, ruining the resources of a young nation, as it fights to protect its citizens and prevent others from being drawn into the struggle,” he said.
The Bishop stressed that the fear sparked by renewed LRA activity, including the killing on 17th January of the nun, Sr. Angelina from the local St. Augustine Institute, is damaging to the country.
