In Sudan, Christian Refugee Children Must Recite Islamic Prayers Before Being Fed
Aid to the Church in Need ^ | 9/6/17 | Murcadha O’Flaherty and John Pontifex

CHRISTIAN children in Sudan’s refugee camps are not given food unless they say Islamic prayers, according to reports we received from reliable sources.

A contact, who asked to remain anonymous for security reasons, described how Christian refugees from South Sudan are confronted with “a terrible situation” in refugee camps in Sudan.

The source told us: “We have heard stories where children are conditioned to say Islamic prayers before [being] given food. This is not right. These children are Christian. They should be respected as such.”

The source, who estimates that some 700,000 South Sudanese Christians are refugees in Sudan, added: “The majority are left in camps, some in terrible conditions. They are confined in those places. They are not allowed to go further north to the cities.

We also received reports that it is hard for refugee families to survive on food provided by the government. A monthly food parcel for a family lasts little more than two weeks. Parents are forced to purchase provisions in the local market where food items are sold that still bear wrapping bearing the UNICEF or UNHCR logos—provisions that obviously should be distributed for free.

The source went on to say that the Khartoum government has hampered charities seeking to provide emergency assistance. He said: “We have heard that the government does not allow any other agencies to give support, including the Church agencies.

Starvation these days isn’t because there is no food available, it is because food is used as a tool by the government or local warlords to control the people. A few people derive money and power from the sufferings of many.

When will the world wake up and realize that Islam is not a religion, definitely not one of peace, that it is evil, that it is a menace, and should be eradicated from the face of the Earth?

They tried that in Lebanon, which was created to be a Christian enclave distinct from greater Syria. As in Israel, the Muslims were drawn to the prosperity that their own religion denies them.

Once they say the prayer, they are deemed to be Muslim and are thus liable for execution should they “apostatize” by again professing Christianity.
