Vatican City, 31 May 2014 (VIS) – The
Director of the Holy See Press Office, Father Federico Lombardi, S.J,
has issued the following declaration:
“The release of the two Italian
missionary priests from Vicenza, Gianantonio Allegri and Giampaolo
Martha, and of the Canadian nun Gilberte Bussière, who had been
kidnapped in Cameroon at the beginning of April, is news that fills
us with joy. The Holy Father, who had followed the dramatic story
from the outset, was promptly informed. We thank God that this
incident has come to a successful conclusion. At the same time we
continue to pray and to make efforts so that every form of violence,
hatred, and conflict in the various regions of Africa and in other
parts of the world might be overcome; and we renew the memory of, and
the commitment to, the many other innocent people in different
conditions and of different ages, who – as we know well – are
victims of unacceptable abductions in different places of conflict”.
