Isso é uma indicação de que os bispos europeus são sensíveis à situação dos cristãos na Nigéria. Sua compaixão e sensibilidade foram divulgadas em uma carta dirigida no início de julho a seus pares no país mais populoso da África e disponibilizadas à RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA. Seguindo as estatísticas existentes, cerca de 6.000 cristãos nigerianos foram mortos desde 2015, principalmente pelo Boko Haram e pastores militantes da extração Fulani, cujo estilo de vida nômade de pastorear vacas levou a quase todas as partes do país. Essas pessoas constituíram uma ameaça para os cidadãos e realizaram ataques terroristas contra agricultores cristãos em todo o país. Esta situação feia foi captada com muita facilidade na mensagem do Presidente da Comissão dos Episcopados da Comunidade Europeia (Iniciar), cardeal Jean-Claude Hollerich, arcebispo de Luxemburgo na conferência do bispo nigeriano.
No início deste ano, Comece havia solicitado à União Europeia e à comunidade internacional que fizessem mais para acabar com a violência na Nigéria, levar os criminosos à justiça, apoiar as vítimas e promover o diálogo e a paz.
A Agência de Notícias RECOWACERAO, RECONA, lembra que entre fevereiro e maio deste ano os bispos nigerianos sob a liderança capaz de seu presidente, o arcebispo Augustine, lançou uma campanha de protesto pacífica contra a violência anticristã. Essas violações de terra e todas as marchas em torno da capital do país, Abuja, começaram na quarta-feira, 26 de fevereiro. Este primeiro lote de protestos foi marcado por todos os cristãos católicos, todos vestidos de preto para assistir à missa que deu início à Quaresma. Após o primeiro lote, a Conferência dos Bispos Católicos da Nigéria (Cbcn) reuniu e organizou seu lote no dia 1º de março, à tarde. Foi uma manifestação pacífica liderada pelos próprios bispos. Atrás dos bispos havia milhares de católicos, todos vestidos de preto. Todos eles andaram pelas ruas da capital, apesar das fortes chuvas. Nesta ocasião, o arcebispo Augustine Akubeze, presidente da Conferência Episcopal da Nigéria, denunciou “o alto nível de insegurança em todas as partes da Nigéria”. Em seu discurso após a manifestação, o arcebispo Akubueze lamentou: “Estamos protestando contra o assassinato brutal de nigerianos inocentes pelo Boko Haram e pastores terroristas”. Ele acrescentou: “Estamos aqui para lamentar as mulheres, crianças, bebês e homens que foram mortos pelos terroristas. ”
Com o tempo, observou-se que a Nigéria é realmente abalada por ataques terroristas realizados pelo Boko Haram e pelos pastores. Muita coisa aconteceu neste país, incluindo o Estado Islâmico, ao qual se somam os confrontos mortais entre os pastores Fulani e os camponeses sedentários na parte norte do país. Em certas partes do país, essa aparente guerra tomou um rumo religioso, já que os pastores Fulani são predominantemente muçulmanos e os camponeses sedentários são cristãos.
Nas suas próprias palavras, o presidente da conferência episcopal europeia disse: “Meus pensamentos e meu coração se dirigem aos muitos jovens forçados a deixar o país por causa da violência e da falta de perspectivas socioeconômicas”. Declarando sua posição coletiva, o presidente expressou sua proximidade com os migrantes e suas famílias. Ele lamentou profundamente que muitos estejam fugindo da violência e buscando asilo no local, não levando à habitação humana. Voltando o olhar para as vítimas do tráfico de seres humanos e todas as pessoas deslocadas, ele demonstrou empatia. Ele convocou outros países para onde essas pessoas fogem vêm refugiados para recebê-los, protegê-los, promovê-los e integrá-los, sabendo muito bem que eles são seus semelhantes com direitos e dignidade relativos.

RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA a été accueillie aujourd’hui par une bonne nouvelle. L’église au Nigéria a été évaluée par des organismes étrangers. Cela indique que de nombreux signaux positifs et provenant de ce pays ont été jugés par les médias étrangers comme l’un des plus grands exportateurs de corruption des continents noirs. Dans une lettre adressée aux évêques nigérians, le président de la Commission des épiscopats de la Communauté européenne (Comece), le cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, archevêque de Luxembourg a exprimé sa compassion pour les chrétiens de ce pays d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Il déplore le tourment et la torture provoqués par les attaques terroristes contre les chrétiens dans ce pays.
Ceci indique que les évêques européens sont sensibles à la situation des chrétiens au Nigeria. Leur compassion et leur sensibilité ont été révélées dans une lettre adressée au début du mois de juillet à leurs homologues du pays le plus peuplé d’Afrique et mise à la disposition de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA. D’après les statistiques existantes, quelque 6 000 chrétiens nigérians ont été tués depuis 2015, principalement par Boko Haram et des bergers militants de l’extraction peul dont le mode de vie nomade de faire paître les vaches s’est répandu dans presque toutes les régions du pays. Ces personnes ont constitué une menace pour les citoyens et ont perpétré des attaques terroristes contre des agriculteurs chrétiens dans tout le pays. Cette horrible situation a bien été reflétée dans le message du président de la Commission des épiscopats de la Communauté européenne (Comece), le cardinal Jean-Claude Hollerich, archevêque de Luxembourg à la conférence des évêques nigérians.
Plus tôt cette année, la Comece avait appelé l’Union européenne et la communauté internationale à faire davantage pour mettre fin à la violence au Nigéria, traduire les criminels en justice, soutenir les victimes et promouvoir le dialogue et la paix.
L’AGENCE DE PRESSE RECOWACERAO, RECONA, rappelle qu’entre février et mai de cette année, les évêques nigérians, sous la direction compétente de leur président, l’archevêque Augustine, ont lancé une campagne de protestation pacifique contre la violence antichrétienne. Ces destructions de terrain et toutes impliquant une marche autour de la capitale du pays, Abuja, ont débuté le mercredi 26 février. Ce premier lot de la manifestation a été marqué par tous les chrétiens catholiques, tous vêtus de noir pour assister à la messe qui a inauguré l’entrée au Carême. Après le premier lot, la Conférence des évêques catholiques du Nigéria (Cbcn) a repris et organisé leur lot le 1er mars, dans l’après-midi. Ce fut une manifestation pacifique dirigée par les évêques eux-mêmes. Derrière les évêques, il y avait des milliers de catholiques, tous vêtus de noir. Ils ont tous parcouru les rues de la capitale malgré les fortes pluies. A cette occasion, Mgr Augustine Akubeze, président de la Conférence épiscopale nigériane, a dénoncé “le niveau élevé d’insécurité dans toutes les régions du Nigéria”. Dans son discours après la manifestation, l’archevêque Akubueze a déploré: “Nous protestons contre le meurtre brutal de Nigérians innocents par Boko Haram et des bergers terroristes”. Il a ajouté: «Nous sommes ici pour pleurer les femmes, les enfants, les bébés et les hommes qui ont été tués par les terroristes. ”
Au fil du temps, il a été constaté que le Nigéria était en effet ébranlé par les attaques terroristes perpétrées par Boko Haram et les bergers. Beaucoup de choses ont eu lieu dans ce pays dont l’État islamique auquel s’ajoutent les affrontements meurtriers entre les bergers peuls et les paysans sédentaires du nord du pays. Dans certaines parties du pays, cette guerre apparente a pris un tour religieux puisque les bergers peuls sont majoritairement musulmans et les paysans sédentaires sont chrétiens.
Selon ses propres mots, le président de la conférence épiscopale européenne a déclaré: “Mes pensées et mon cœur vont aux nombreux jeunes contraints de quitter le pays en raison de la violence et du manque de perspectives socio-économiques”. Déclarant leur position collective, le président a exprimé sa proximité avec les migrants et leurs familles. Il a profondément regretté que beaucoup fuient la violence et demandent l’asile sur place, ce qui n’est pas propice à l’habitation humaine. Tournant son regard vers les victimes de la traite des êtres humains et toutes les personnes déplacées, il a déversé son empathie. Il a appelé les autres pays où ces personnes fuient les réfugiés à bien vouloir les recevoir, à les protéger, à les promouvoir et à les intégrer, sachant très bien qu’ils sont leurs semblables avec des droits humains et une dignité relative.
