Kumba School Massacre: Vatican Condemns Kumba Killings, Urges Belligerents To Silence Guns

Popo Francis has urged separatist fighters and security forces to silence the guns across the North West and South West regions in order to guarantee the safety of all and sundry. 

Pope Francis 

The Holy Father made the appeal Wednesday 28 October 2020 at the end of his weekly general audience during which he prayed for the victim of the heinous killings at the Mother Francisca International Bilingual Academy.

“I wish guns are silent so that the safety and security of all may be guaranteed, alongside the right for all young people to an education and a future,” the Pope appealed. While praying God to comfort the families affected and the country as a whole, he described the killing as cruel and insane. 

“I unite myself to the pain of the families of students barbarically killed in Kumba, Cameroon…I feel great dismay for such a cruel and senseless act, which ripped life off innocent kids while they were following their lessons in school…,” he said. 

“May God illuminates hearts so that similar acts are never again repeated and so that the troubled North West and South West regions of the country may finally regain peace…,” he concluded.
