Congo - Armed men broke into the presbytery in the Kabare (the Sud-Kivu province of eastern Democratic Republic of Congo) and killed Roman Catholic priest, Monsignor Daniel Cizimya. He was shot in the head.
Kinshasa Archbishop Pasinya has condemned the attacks stating, "Everything leads us to believe that this violence was directed intentionally against the Catholic Church and its mission of peace and reconciliation."
Two days after Cizimya's brutal murder, Sister Denise Kahambu was shot and killed by three armed men in an attack on a Trappist monastery north of Bukavu.
"The archdiocese has fallen victim to an act of barbarism," said Monsignor Pierre Bulambo, vicar general. Two months ago, two priests were "imprisoned like rats" when attackers set fire to their presbytery, according to Bulambo. "The Congolese are fed up of crying and dying," he said about a growing wave of anti-Christian violence.
