Cameroon: We are all children of one God, and all life is sacrosanct
28 October 2020
The All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) has learnt with great sadness of the horrific massacre of school children by yet to be identified gunmen while in a classroom in Mother Fransisca International Bilingual Academy in Kumba, Southwest region of Cameroon. Several other students who were in the same class were seriously injured , and are fighting for their lives in hospital.
The AACC condemns this dastardly act in the strongest terms possible. We note that the involvement of children as targets in the ongoing civil conflict in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon is a dangerous escalation of this war. It will lead to harming of innocents who have no idea what the conflict is about, and who deserve to be protected by all sides to the conflict. Read the full statement here, and dans français ici.
