VATICAN - PASTORAL CARE WORKERS KILLED IN 2013

Vatican City (Agenzia Fides) - According to information in our possession, during 2013, 22 pastoral care workers were killed worldwide (mostly priests), almost double compared to 13 who were killed in 2012. On the night of December 31, 2013 and January 1, 2014, Fr. Eric Freed, a priest in Eureka, California was killed: The police are investigating to determine the reasons of such murder.
For the fifth consecutive year, the place most affected, with an extremely elevated number of pastoral care workers killed is LATIN AMERICA, especially in Colombia.
The pastoral care workers who died violently in 2013 are:19 priests, 1 religious sister, 2 lay persons. In America: 15 priests (7 in Colombia, 4 in Mexico, 1 in Brazi, 1 in Venezuela, 1 in Panama, 1 in Haiti) were killed; in Africa: 1 priest was killed in Tanzania, 1 religious sister in Madagascar, 1 lay person in Nigeria were killed; in Asia 1 priest in in India and 1 in Syria were killed; in the Philippines 1 lay person was killed; in Europe a priest was killed in Italy.
As it has been for some time, Fides’ list does not only include missionaries ad gentes in the strict sense, but all pastoral care workers who died violent deaths. We do not propose to use the term "martyrs", if not in its etymological meaning of "witnesses" since it is up to the Church to judge their possible merits and also because of the scarsity of available information in most cases, with regard to their life and even the circumstances of their death.
In 2013 the beatification process of the six Italian missionary Sisters of the Poor of Bergamo was opened, who died in Congo in 1995 after having contracted the Ebola virus in order not to leave the population without health care, defined as "martyrs of love". Instead the diocesan phase of the beatification process of Luisa Mistrali Guidotti, a member of the Women's Medical Missionary Association was completed, who was killed in 1979 in the then Rhodesia, while accompanying a pregnant woman at risk in labor to the hospital. The cause of beatification of Father Mario Vergara, a missionary of the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions (PIME), and the lay catechist Isidore Ngei Ko Lat, killed in hatred of faith in Myanmar in 1950 was opened. On April 25 the beatification of Father Pino Puglisi was celebrated: "his gentleness and his unceasing missionary work, collided with a logic of life opposed to faith, that of the mafia, that hindered his pastoral action with intimidation, threats and beatings, to the point of killing him, in hatred of faith" wrote the Bishops of Sicily.
There is still much concern regarding the fate of many other pastoral care workers who have been kidnapped or disappeared, of whom there has been no news, such as the three Congolese Augustinian priests of the Assumption, kidnapped in North Kivu, in the Democratic Republic of Congo in October 2012, and a Colombian priest who has disappeared for months. While the terrible conflict that has plunged Syria in blood for three years does not spare the Christians: we have not had any news of the Italian Jesuit Fr. Paul Dall'Oglio for a long time, of the two metropolitan Bishops of Aleppo - the Greek Orthodox Boulos al-Yazigi and the Syrian Orthodox Mar Gregorios Yohanna Ibrahim, of the Orthodox nuns of the monastery of Santa Tecla. Fr. Georges Vandenbeusch, the French "Fidei Donum" priest has just been released, who had been kidnapped on November 13 in his parish home in Nguetchewe, Cameroon.
The majority of the pastoral care workers in 2013 were killed in atempted robbery, and in some cases violently attacked, a sign of the climate of moral decline, economic and cultural poverty, which generates violence and disregard for human life. They all lived in these human and social contexts, carrying out the mission of proclaiming the Gospel message without making sensational acts, but by witnessing their faith in the humility of daily life.
As pointed out by the Holy Father, "in 2,000 years, a vast host of men and women have sacrificed their lives to remain faithful to Jesus Christ and his Gospel" (Angelus, 23 June 2013).
The provisional list compiled annually by Fides, must therefore be added to the long list of many of whom there may never be news, who in every corner of the world suffer and even pay with their lives for their faith in Christ: "let us think about our many Christian brothers and sisters who are suffering persecution for their faith. There are so many. Perhaps more now than in past centuries. Jesus is with them. We too are united to them with our prayers and our love; we admire their courage and their witness. They are our brothers and sisters who, in many parts of the world, are suffering for their faithfulness to Jesus Christ" (Pope Francis, Angelus, 17 November 2013).

About Uamsho Zanzibar Militant Islamist Terrorist Group

  • About Uamsho Zanzibar Militant Islamist Terrorist Group

    Uamsho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uamsho

    Uamsho

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    Uamsho (Awakening) is a religious movement group, (The Association for Islamic Mobilisation and Propagation known as Jumiki or Jumuiya ya Uamsho na mihadhara ya kiislam in Swahili language.) which was legally registered as a non-governmental organization in Zanzibar. It is one of the most widely followed groups in Zanzibar after political parties. Uamsho fights for the full autonomy of the Zanzibar Islands within the Union with the United Republic of Tanzania. It has been doing so since the formation of the Zanzibar Government of National Unity in 2010.[1]

      History and formation[edit source | editbeta]

      UAMSHO was officially registered as JUMIKI (Jumuiya ya Uamsho na mihadhara ya kiislam in Swahili language) in 2001 with the Registration no.149 under the Zanzibar government Society Act Number 6 of 1995 concerning the registration of civil society organization (Non Governmental Organitasion)[2] But the name UAMSHO (awakening) has become much more popular than its original name Jumiki. Uamsho (Awakening) constitution declare openly its aims of returning Zanzibar to being a center of Islamic institution , applying Islamic law in Zanzibar and to make sure that Zanzibar have fully autonomy to decide its own affairs rather than remains under the umbrella of the Union of Tanganyika and Zanzibar. According to the current ongoing collection of views about new Constitution,more than half Zanzibaris including prominent people support Uamsho activities and demand Zanzibar to have full autonomy and formation of the new type of Union like European union style which will leave opportunity for other countries to join and each country to have full control of its affairs.
      Analyst[who?] believe the reason for Zanzibaris to resolve into the movements such as this one that never existed before was the continuous failure of its leaders and politicians to represent Zanzibar as a country in the union, instead they betrayed Zanzibar and let it be ruled by the Tanganyikans (mainland) for the last 48 years that ruin Zanzibar prestige, economy and history.
      Many believe that, Zanzibar has been left behind in the world due to the unionization which Zanzibaris believe it was a plan and systematic agenda designed by the late president Nyerere to take away Zanzibar autonomy gradually and kill its Islamic civilization and values. While in the late 50's Muslims in East African in general were not political matured it was seen that was an opportunity to plant Nyerere as an agent to deter the Islamic influence that was feared its dominance in the East and Central African region. The late Tanzanian President Nyerere one of his known speech before the union it demonstrate anti-Islamic aims he said that if he could, he would drag those two island and drawn them far away",and because of that Uamsho believe the agenda to let Zanzibar disappear was planned a long time ago.

      Formation and leadership[edit source | editbeta]

      The group is formed by the following leader/ship style.
      1. Amir; (Commander/Supervisor) Sheikh.Farid Hadi Ahmed
      2. Deputy Amir Sheikh, Azzan Khalid Hamdan
      3. General Secretary Sheikh Abdallah Said Madawa
      4. Deputy General Secretary
      5. Treasurer
      6. Members.

      Riots, incitement to murder and maim and general criticism[edit source | editbeta]

      Uamsho group has been several times criticized for failing to stick to its purpose as registered and instead has turned into a political machination to voice the Zanzibaris demand for discussing the Union matter in the process of formulating a new constitution.[3] Many have risen concerns about the activities of UAMSHO that Uamsho is no longer a purely religious movement but it has been manipulated in order to fulfill political ambition Uamsho has started it’s campaigns in different regions in Zanzibar with the aim to free Zanzibar from The United Republic of Tanzania,and repeatedly calling for a referendum on Zanzibar's exit from its union with mainland
      In April 2012 the governments of Tanzania and Zanzibar intervened and stopped all meetings, demonstrations, gatherings or lectures until further notice. But the group has been conducting lectures in various areas claiming to have been benefited from the freedom of information. Several clashes between the members and the field force unit have been reported including the burning of churches in the Zanzibar island of Unguja.[4]
      On 25th December 2012 two suspected Uamsho assailants on a motorcycle shot the Rev. Ambrose Mkenda seriously injuring him as he arrived home in Tomondo, about four miles from Zanzibar city, capital. (Link to story)
      Among the people who criticises the movement was Zanzibar president Dr.Shein and Tanzania Prime Minister. Mr Mizengo Pinda expressed deep concern over activities of Uamsho religious group in Zanzibar which is believed to be the source of riots since 2012. Mr Pinda told the House that the organisation was legally registered as a non-governmental organization in Zanzibar and at the beginning operated well. "Unfortunately the NGOhas of late lost direction and is propagating hatred among the people in Zanzibar. Authorities in Zanzibar are dealing with all trouble makers," the premier told the National Assembly.[5]
      On 16 October 2012, Sheikh Farid Hadi Ahmad, a Muslim cleric in Zanzibar, was reported missing, and returned home after disappearing for four days. He claimed to have been abducted by armed and masked men who identified themselves as police officers.
      The Commissioner of Police- Zanzibar, Mr Mussa Ali has categorically dismissed the claims, saying that police had no idea of the whereabouts of Sheikh Farid.The disappearance caused unrest in the stone town, paralyzing traffic and business as the missing cleric supporters rampaged in the streets.Two people including a police officer were killed and several others were injured.[6]
      Seven leaders of the Islamic Revival Forum (Uamsho), including Sheikh Farid Hadi Ahmed, were arrested on 20th October 2012 appeared before Mwanakwerekwe District Court in Zanzibar where they were charged with several counts including incitement, causing chaos, and breach of peace and misunderstandings in the Isles. defence lawyers - Salim Tawfik and Abdallah Juma - boycotted a court session and withdrawn from representing Uamsho, accusing the police and prosecuting officers of acting under unnecessary secrecy.[7]
      Analysts said the Uamsho group has been gaining popularity following the disenchantment of supporters of Zanzibar's main opposition Civic United Front (CUF) party after its decision to form a government of national unity with the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) party.[8]
