DRC Congo: Caritas Report on Butembo-Béni: A year of carnage, a heavy toll
Extract from the report: “The consequences of the carnage for the life of the people are unbearable. In fact, most of the citizens of the town and area of Beni have been traumatised directly or indirectly by the killing of a close friend, relative, neighbour or classmate. Countless households, around 14,400, are still displaced or in great need of humanitarian aid. Families who have been hosting the people who have been displaced for a year now also deserve help. The health facilities and educational institutions of the country are struggling to operate because the people of the country, with its grinding poverty, are unable to pay for the medical care or school fees. Main cause: the destabilization of local economies, mainly due to the impossibility of access to the fields of a region where the main activity is agriculture."

News from Burkina Faso
After the attack in Burkina Faso by a jihadist group, a member of our AEFJN network writes briefly about the situation in the country.
Dear Friends
We have been feeling alarmed and indignant since the jihadist attack by Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb through Friday night at the heart of Ouagadougou. Many of you have shown us your solidarity for which we thank you. The provisional death toll is 26. National mourning will be observed for 72 hours from Sunday for the victims of this terrorist attack that targeted a hotel and a restaurant in the centre of the capital. We ourselves are quite far from the capital, but we share the anguish of a people that aspires to peace and national reconciliation. We pray for all victims of such attacks and implore the Lord to grant to our world this much desired peace.
