STATEMENT OF CONDEMNATION FROM THE WORLD FELLOWSHIP OF ORTHODOX YOUTH IN AFRICA AND THE URBAN-RURAL MISSION FOR COMMUNITY, JUSTICE AND SOLIDARITY IN EASTERN AFRICA
"We condemn in the stongest terms the senseless inhuman attack on the United
States of America leading to horrific destruction of innocent lives and
enormous properties in the Business Centre of New York, Washington at the
Pentagon. This is a critical test on the peace and solidarity exisiting in
the world.
We are at the verge of massive violence if such insenstive acts of terrorism
continue to happen at a time when we are all making efforts to mend fences
with each other and between nations.
All patience and restrain must not be exhausted on the part of all the
powers that be so that we might revert the possibility of greater conflicts.
We are with you President Bush and all the people of the United States of
America at this very difficult moment.
We pray for the bereaved families that in losing your dear ones, you become
the chief agents of peace and civilised conflict resolution in the world. We
pray for eternal repause for those who have lost their lives, their memory
shall be eternal.
We apeal to all world leader to listen to God's still small voice saying,
"forgive them for they do not know what they are doing, and with this heart
of forgiveness, let us tighten our resolve to root out terrorism from the
world".
This is indeed a trying moment for America and the entire world. Let us bear
the pain with love and consolation of one another that one day, sooner that
later, the parpetrators will be brought to book.
In God We Trust
For God and my Country
God Protect Africa
