SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Radio Dabanga - Christmas message: Minister apologises to Sudan’s Christians for their suffering
In a Christmas speech, Nasredin Mofreh, Sudan’s Minister of Religious Affairs and Endowments, has expressed his apology to Christians for “the unjust and clumsy policies” that their families and their religion were subjected to during the deposed Al Bashir regime.
Mofreh also apologised to Sudanese Christians “for the oppression and harm inflicted on your bodies, the destruction of your temples, the theft of your property, and the unjust arrest and prosecution of your servants and confiscation of church buildings.”
Mofreh further called for the need to uphold the values of religious tolerance, fraternal solidarity, family cohesion, and preserving the values of mutual compassion and solidarity established in Islam and Christianity.
