DR Congo: violent conflict
Please continue to pray for people in DR Congo, where conflict is raging on and more people are losing their lives. In addition to Goma, rebels have now taken the town of Bukavu, leading to more people being displaced and more deaths. Further north, in Ituri province, a different rebel group have killed more than 100 people. CMS partner Bisoke Balikenga writes that in Bunia, where he runs a peace centre, people are now living in fear as they hear rumours that Ugandan and Rwandan soldiers are coming to take their town and fight them too. As supplies become scarcer, food prices are rising and many are struggling to afford daily essentials, let alone stockpile food in case supplies run out altogether. Pray for comfort and hope for all those suffering and living in fear, for provision of basic supplies and for peace to come to this nation.
