A priest who remained with his parish in Sudan despite growing violence was killed after the theft of vital medicines intended for local people.
Fr Youhana Alamin, parish priest of St Vincent’s Parish in Kauda, was fatally shot on Friday, June 19, in the Nuba Mountains, along with one watchman. Another watchman survived the attack.
Sources from the Diocese of El Obeid told the Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) that the priest was planning to evacuate after armed men entered the church premises on June 18 and demanded access to the medical store to take supplies.
