Christians Fear for Their Future in Sudan as Conflict Grows
Christian Today ^ | 4/24/23 | Anthony Baxter

Christians in Sudan are appealing for prayer amid fears that Islamist extremists may exploit the growing conflict and instability in the country.

According to Open Doors, the country's two million Christians fear Islamist extremists could use the current chaos to bring about a devastating return to harsh Sharia law.

Fikiru Mehari, an Open Doors researcher for the East Africa region, has warned that the collapse of the country will cause "untold suffering" for the people of Sudan.

The warning comes as hundreds of foreign diplomats from the US, UK and other countries were evacuated on Sunday following a week of fighting.

Mehari said it had been "a very difficult time" and that the people of Sudan were living in a state of "confusion" about the country's future.

The fighting is already affecting Christians, with pastors and their flocks separated from one another as people hide away indoors.

"Church leaders I am speaking to are urging everyone to pray," said Mehari.

Mehari said it had been "a very difficult time" and that the people of Sudan were living in a state of "confusion" about the country's future.

Why should Christians fear when Islam is such a religion of peace?

American Christians should have nothing to fear since we have kissed muzzie ass ever since 9/11/01 and still doing it with glee.

FI.

I’d bet my last dollar that the Obama-Bush-Clinton NGO will not fly one single Christian from Sudan to America to escape Muslim persecution. Not one.

Thou shall not kill.

It took 400 years to mount the crusades.

Ever notice how the G7 progressed while the Islamic world All became bachwards shithole, monopolizing illiteracy, igonrance and poverty? All trapped in the seventh century? Clearly Mohammed’s vision failed its adherents.

And their UN gang wants to dictate Islamic ideals on the west?
Screw them and their anti Christian/Antichrist ideals.

I recall that Israel gave amnesty to several thousand Black African Jews in the 1980s.

I believe they were from Sudan, but after four decades, I might be mis-remembering.

I wasn’t aware of that, probably mainly because I was so young when it happened.

The refugees were from Ethiopia and had escaped to Sudan, which was a hostile place for them. The Massad ran a smuggling operation to get them to Israel.

Apparently Netflix made a movie about it called ‘Red Sea Diving Resort’. Here’s the trailer:
