Via Radio Moto Butembo-Beni: Archdiocese of Kisangani affected by Ebola phenomenon in Butembo. I don't understand all the references to various armed groups, but they imply a world of grief in which healthcare workers are trying to fight Ebola. The Google translation:
The entire Archdiocese of Kisangani feels concerned by the Ebola phenomenon. The Provincial Episcopal Assembly of Kisangani expresses this in a press release sanctioning its session from March 5 to 7, 2019. In this document of which we have a copy, the Archbishop and the bishops of this archdiocese believe that the The Church, as a servant of life in abundance, is closely concerned by the spread of this plague.
They commend the dedication of many organizations and structures that are fighting this disease. Therefore, they encourage the commitment of all Christians as well as all men and women of good will to prevent and combat this scourge in respect of ethical and Christian values.
"We express our closeness and solidarity with His Excellency Monsignor Melchisedech SIKULI, Bishop of Butembo-Beni, whose remarkable pastoral commitment contributes effectively to the fight against this dreadful disease that particularly affects his diocese," write the Archbishop and the 7 other bishops of ASSPKIS.
On another note, they deplore the tendencies of some candidate governors who are tempted to bribe MPs who are their future voters. It is with this in mind that they question the nature of the service that can be rendered by leaders coming out of corruption paths.
On the security front, the members of the Provincial Bishops' Assembly of Kisangani are worried about the increasing presence of MBORORO breeders, LRA rebels and UDAs, Libyan poachers in some parts of their dioceses.
