As crowds gathered to watch the World Cup Finals on Monday July 12, coordinated bombings occurred in two locations killing more than 70 people. A radical Somalian insurgent group claimed responsibility.
Archbishop Cyprian Lwanga (seen below, in a previous Eucharistic celebration in Kampala) sent a message to his people.
“We are deeply saddened and strongly condemn this senseless act of violence that killed and injured innocent people. It reveals the evil and ugly nature of the perpetrators who do not value human life,” he said. Archbishop Lwanga went on to ask those affected by the violence not to react in anger saying that, “…whenever there are misunderstandings, let people embrace dialogue in the resolution of conflicts.”
We pray that all may heed his message of peace.
