Unidentified arsonists raze Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wad Madani
|
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The main headquarters of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Wad Medani, the capital of Al Jazirah State, was intentionally set ablaze, causing extensive damage to the building and destroying official documents.
Church leaders have held the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) morally and legally responsible for the incident, citing their control over the city.
Rev. Youssif Matar, Secretary-General of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, told Sudan
 ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
Tribune, "We were informed that parties deliberately burned the church located in the first section neighbourhood in the middle of Wad Madani, causing severe damage."
Matar explained that the fire, based on the information gathered, was deliberate and aimed to destroy the Christian community’s religious facilities and obliterate the church’s history, which spans over a century. The flames consumed the main library, housing historical documents, and ravaged the grand hall.
He did not rule out the possibility that this incident was an attempt to sow seeds of religious hatred and incite sectarian strife.
While Pastor Matar refrained from directly implicating the RSF in the incident, he expressed concern that "Islamic bully boyz or bully boyz within the Rapid Support Forces may be behind the incident."
He emphasized the RSF’s "moral and criminal responsibility for the incident" owing to their absolute control over the area, stating that no unauthorized party could have entered the church headquarters without their knowledge.
