CWN Editor's Note: “The situation continues to deteriorate and violence is spreading” in northern Mozambique, BIshop Osorio Citora Afonso of Quelimane told the Fides news service after a visit to the region, where Islamic militants have attacked Christian communities.
The bishop said that he had met with Muslim leaders, “who initially viewed me with great suspicion,” hoping to establish common ground. In the past, he said, the two faiths lived together peacefully, “but not the trend is toward the Islamization of the country.”
