The bishops of Sierra Leone condemned the “frequent and targeted attacks on our Clergy, Religious and the looting of mission properties.”
Such attacks are an “assault on the peace and spiritual fabric of our country,” the bishops said after an armed robber’s violent January 27 attack on a priest.
Sierra Leone, a West African nation of 9.3 million (map), is 67% Muslim, 19% ethnic religionist, and 11% Christian.
