“No início da tarde de 28 de novembro, homens armados em motocicletas realizaram um ataque brutal contra civis e mulheres que trabalhavam nos campos em Koshobe e em outras comunidades rurais da área do governo local de Jere”, relata Edward Kallon em nota , Coordenador humanitário da ONU na Nigéria, segundo o qual várias pessoas ficaram feridas no ataque cruel e muitas mulheres podem ter sido sequestradas por homens do Boko Haram.
O ataque sangrento pode ser uma retaliação à prisão por um grupo de fazendeiros de um membro do Boko Haram, que foi entregue aos seguranças locais.
Entretanto, o Presidente da RECOWA-CERAO, Dom Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, que é o Arcebispo de Abuja, queixou-se do facto de o governo nigeriano excluir a Igreja Católica dos programas de ajuda às vítimas do terrorismo Boko Haram.
«A Igreja Católica com a sua experiência de estar com e para os pobres, e com o seu apoio às vítimas do terrorismo e de outras catástrofes, surpreendentemente não está incluída na atribuição da ajuda prestada por governos estrangeiros», afirmou Dom Kaigama em comunicado, relançado pela Ajuda à Igreja que Sofre e disponibilizada para RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA.
O Arcebispo de Abuja acrescentou: “Da mesma forma, ao criar, por exemplo, a Comissão de Desenvolvimento do Nordeste onde opera Boko Haram, o governo não incluiu um representante da Igreja Católica cujo departamento de” Justiça, Desenvolvimento e Paz “promoveu significativamente e atividades psicológicas, bem como apoio material a milhares de pessoas afetadas pela violência terrorista ”.
A insegurança também afeta a capital federal, Abuja. “Na semana passada, cinco crianças da mesma família foram sequestradas em uma de nossas paróquias da Arquidiocese de Abuja, atrás da casa paroquial, e no dia seguinte uma mulher também foi sequestrada enquanto se preparava para seu casamento na igreja. Eles ainda não foram encontrados ”, denuncia Dom Kaigama.
Até um padre católico ainda está nas mãos dos sequestradores. O P. Matthew Dajo foi atacado e sequestrado por homens armados no domingo, 22 de novembro, na sua casa na paróquia de Santo Antônio, em Yangoji, em Abuja. «Um padre meu foi raptado e ainda está preso. Peço-lhe que reze pela sua libertação», pediu Dom Kaigama.
Les informations recueillies par le correspondant officiel de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA des Nations Unies ont déclaré que plus de 110 agriculteurs ont été tués par les rebelles de Boko Haram le 28 novembre, dans le village de Zabarmari, une communauté de riziculteurs de la région de Jere l’État de Borno, au nord du Nigéria.
“Au début de l’après-midi du 28 novembre, des hommes armés à motocyclette ont mené une attaque brutale contre des civils, hommes et femmes, qui travaillaient dans les champs de Koshobe et d’autres communautés rurales de la région du gouvernement local de Jere”, rapporte Edward Kallon dans un communiqué , Coordinateur humanitaire des Nations Unies au Nigéria, selon lequel plusieurs personnes ont été blessées dans l’attaque impitoyable et de nombreuses femmes auraient été enlevées par des hommes de Boko Haram.
L’agression sanglante pourrait être en représailles à l’arrestation par un groupe d’agriculteurs d’un membre de Boko Haram, qui a été remis aux agents de sécurité locaux.
Parallèlement, le président du RECOWA-CERAO, Mgr Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, qui est l’archevêque d’Abuja, s’est plaint du fait que le gouvernement nigérian exclut l’Église catholique des programmes d’aide aux victimes du terrorisme de Boko Haram.
“L’Église catholique avec son expérience d’être avec et pour les pauvres, et son soutien aux victimes du terrorisme et d’autres catastrophes, n’est étonnamment pas incluse dans l’allocation de l’aide fournie par les gouvernements étrangers”, a déclaré Mgr Kaigama dans un communiqué, relancé par Aid to the Church in Need et mis à la disposition de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA.
L’archevêque d’Abuja a ensuite ajouté: “De même, en créant, par exemple, la Commission de développement du Nord-Est où opère Boko Haram, le gouvernement n’a pas inclus un représentant de l’Église catholique dont le département” Justice, développement et paix “a considérablement et des activités psychologiques ainsi qu’un soutien matériel à des milliers de personnes touchées par la violence terroriste.
L’insécurité affecte également la capitale fédérale, Abuja. << La semaine dernière, cinq enfants de la même famille ont été enlevés dans l’une de nos paroisses de l’archidiocèse d’Abuja, derrière la maison paroissiale, et le lendemain, une femme a également été kidnappée alors qu’elle se préparait à son mariage à l’église. Ils ne l’ont pas encore fait. été retrouvée », dénonce Mgr Kaigama.
Même un prêtre catholique est toujours entre les mains des ravisseurs. Le P. Matthew Dajo, a été agressé et enlevé par des hommes armés le dimanche 22 novembre à son domicile de la paroisse de Saint-Antoine, à Yangoji, à Abuja. “Un de mes prêtres a été enlevé et est toujours prisonnier. Je vous demande de prier pour sa libération”, a demandé Mgr Kaigama.
Information gathered by the official Correspondent of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA from the United Nations has declared that over 110 farmers were killed by the rebels of Boko Haram on November 28, in the village of Zabarmari, a community of rice farmers in the Jere area of the State of Borno, in the north of Nigeria.
“In the early afternoon of November 28, gunmen on motorcycles carried out a brutal attack on civilian men and women, who were working in the fields in Koshobe and other rural communities in the local government area of Jere”, reports Edward Kallon in a statement, UN humanitarian coordinator in Nigeria, according to whom several people were injured in the ruthless attack and many women may have been kidnapped by Boko Haram men.
The bloody assault could be in retaliation for the arrest by a group of farmers of a member of Boko Haram, who was handed over to local security officers.
Meanwhile, the President of RECOWA-CERAO, Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama, who is the Archbishop of Abuja, complained about the fact that the Nigerian government excludes the Catholic Church from aid programs for the victims of Boko Haram terrorism.
“The Catholic Church with its experience of being with and for the poor, and its support for the victims of terrorism and other disasters, is surprisingly not included in the allocation of aid provided by foreign governments”, said Bishop Kaigama in a statement, relaunched by Aid to the Church in Need and made available to RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA.
The Archbishop of Abuja then added: “Likewise, in setting up, for example, the Northeast Development Commission where Boko Haram operates, the government failed to include a representative of the Catholic Church whose “Justice, Development and Peace” department has significantly promoted spiritual and psychological activities as well as providing material support to thousands of people affected by terrorist violence”.
Insecurity also affects the federal capital, Abuja. “Last week, five children from the same family were kidnapped in one of our parishes in the Archdiocese of Abuja, behind the parish house, and the following day a woman was also kidnapped as she was preparing for her church wedding. They have not yet been found”, denounces Bishop Kaigama.
Even a Catholic priest is still in the hands of the kidnappers. Fr Matthew Dajo, was attacked and kidnapped by armed men on Sunday 22 November at his home in the parish of St. Anthony, in Yangoji, in Abuja. “A priest of mine was kidnapped and is still a prisoner. I ask you to please pray for his release”, asked Bishop Kaigama.
