Central African Republic: Missionary collaborator dies in car explosion A missionary collaborator is the sole victim of a mine that exploded when a car of the Catholic Mission of Niem drove over it. Locals suspect that the mine was probably set by rebels active in the region. By Vatican News staff writer A vehicle belonging to the Catholic Mission of Niem, in the Central African Republic, exploded on a landmine on Wednesday, killing a young collaborator attached to the Mission and injuring two others, including a priest. The Niem Mission is entrusted to the Congregation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Betharram (Societas Presbyterorum Sacratissimi Cordis Iesu de Bétharram), which until 2011, was called the Congregation of Priests of the Sacred Heart of Jesus of Betharram). The Congregation has been present in Niem for 30 years and runs a small hospital with an operating room and maternity ward, and a kindergarten and primary school which is also attended by  Muslim students.
