Religion / Pope Francis Visits Besieged Mosque In Central African Republic by dgrand: 1:54pm On Mar 14, 2018 |
This article is two yrs old Pope Francis has taken the biggest security risk of his papacy to visit a mosque under siege from armed Christian militias in Bangui, the capital of Central African Republic, delivering a message of peace and reconciliation in a show of solidarity. Under heavy UN and Vatican protection, Francis travelled in his open pope mobile into the heart of PK5, where 15,000 Muslims are surrounded by Christian militias. Before the civil war erupted in March 2013, the Muslim population of the capital was about 122,000 but most have fled. Thousands of people gathered at the roadside, cheering as the papal entourage drove down red dirt roads. The 26-hour visit to Bangui was the first time the pope has visited an active war zone. CAR has been embroiled in civil war since President François Bozizé was ousted in a coup by Muslim rebels. After removing his shoes on entering the Koudoukou mosque and bowing towards the holy Muslim city of Mecca, the pope told several hundred men inside that “Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters”. “Together, we must say no to hatred, to revenge and to violence, particularly that violence which is perpetrated in the name of a religion or of God himself. God is peace. Salaam,” he added, using the Arabic word for peace. Francis said his visit to CAR “would not be complete if it did not include this encounter with the Muslim community”. The chief imam at the mosque Tidiani Moussa Naibi,thanked Francis for his visit, which he said was “a symbol which we all understand”. Some Muslims are living in the mosque after being forced out of their homes by the violence. “We are very proud to welcome him. The pope is not only for the Christians, he is a servant of God for all Central Africans,” said Ibrahim Paulin, a spokesman for the displaced. Armed UN peacekeepers were positioned on the mosque’s minarets and a helicopter hovered overhead. At the edge of the district, armed Muslim rebels stood in front of wooden barricades, watching for any threat from Christian vigilante groups. The visit came towards the end of the pope’s six-day Africa tour, which included visits to Kenya and Uganda. After celebrating mass in a sports stadium, Francis departed for Rome. UN troops, Central African police, Vatican security and volunteer scouts patrolled outside and inside the20,000-seat stadium. “I am happy to be doing this,” said David, a 20-year-old scout. “I feel that I am useful to the pope, that I am welcoming him personally to our country. It is important that he feels safe and welcome.” At last the pope even bows towards mecca inside the mosque.
