CAMEROON: End to Violence Appeals Dominate Cardinal Tumi’s Burial in Douala
By Arnold Neliba
DOUALA, APRIL 23, 2021 (CISA)– “Africa has had enough,” Philippe Cardinal Ouédraogo President of Symposium of Episcopal Conferences in Africa and Madagascar (SECAM) has said appealing for an end to violence in Cameroon and across Africa in honour of late Cardinal Christian Tumi.
The Archbishop of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso was speaking at Sts. Peter and Paul Cathedral in Douala during funeral Mass of Cardinal Tumi held on April 20.
“People hungry for blood like Cain kill their brothers without any reason. All violence against any human being is an attack on God himself because God made man in his own image,” the cardinal said acknowledging the contribution of Cardinal Tumi is pursuit of lasting peace in Cameroon.
