Vatican City, 9 May 2014 (VIS) –
Yesterday, in a statement to journalists, the director of the Holy
See Press Office, Fr. Federico Lombardi, S.J., declared that the
kidnapping in Nigeria of a large number of schoolgirls by Boko Haram
terrorists is yet another of the “horrible forms of violence long
typical of this group”.
He continued, “The denial of any
respect for the lives and dignity of the human person, even the most
innocent, vulnerable and defenceless, calls for the strongest
condemnation and elicits the most heartfelt compassion for the
victims, as well as horror at the physical and spiritual suffering
and the incredible humiliation inflicted upon them. We add our voice
to the many appeals for their liberation and their restoration to a
normal condition of life. We hope and pray that Nigeria, thanks to
the commitment of all those who are able to help, may find a way to
end a situation of conflict and hateful terrorism which is a source
of incalculable suffering”.
