ASIA/MYANMAR - Churches occupied by the military and Christian Communities struggling amid conflict: the story of a parish priest from Sagaing

by Paolo AffatatoMyitkyina – “The civil war remains intense, and the situation is very difficult. Armed groups continue to fight in various parts of our area and maintain their positions around the parish. I have been displaced and am now staying in a village, where I assist people who have been forced to flee their homes. We hope in God’s grace and pray for our parish.”This is the testimony given to Fides by Father Stephen Sut Awng, parish priest of Katha, a town in the State of Sagaing and within the diocese of Myitkyina, in northern Myanmar, where the conflict continues to affect the civilian population and Christian communities.Appointed to the parish in 2025, the priest told Fides that the situation in Katha District remains marked by intense fighting between the Kachin Independence Army and Myanmar’s armed forces. The presence of the military and armed groups in the town has made everyday life difficult and forced the parish priest himself to leave the parish premises.Father Sut Awng clarified an important detail to Fides: St Joseph’s Catholic Church, located in Katha town, has not been occupied by the military, contrary to reports published in the media in recent days. St Michael’s Catholic Church, however, in the village of Bye Malut, about eight kilometres from Katha, remains occupied by the army.“It is not possible to celebrate liturgical services in the building,” he explained, lamenting that “a sacred place, a place of God, a place of peace, is being used as a place for weapons and war”.The priest is currently staying in the village of Napa, also within the Diocese of Myitkyina, about 26 kilometres from Katha, alongside internally displaced people who have been forced to flee their homes because of the fighting.“Far from my parish church, I continue my ministry by remaining close to those who have lost the security and stability of their everyday lives. We stand alongside the displaced, seeking to offer them some consolation and bear witness to the prese

According to a statement issued by the Diocese of Otukpo, the kidnapping took place on 13 October.“Father John was returning home from Otukpo when he was intercepted by kidnappers along the Otobi Amejo–Ajegbe road, in the Ohimini Local Government Area of Benue State,” the statement said. It was signed by the diocesan chancellor, Rev. Joseph Aboyi Itodo.“The Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Otukpo, Monsignor Michael Ekwoyi Apochi, deeply saddened by what has happened, invites all the faithful of the diocese and all people of goodwill to pray for Father John’s safe and speedy return home,” the statement continued.“As efforts to secure his release intensify, united in heart and spirit, we entrust our confrere Father John, together with all others in the country who remain in the hands of their abductors, to the powerful intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, praying that they may soon be freed and return home safe and sound,” the statement concluded.Otukpo is located in Benue State, in north-central Nigeria, and lies within the so-called Middle Belt, where clashes between farmers and herders over control of land and water resources are frequent.On 29 July, armed men abducted seminarian Kelvin Ochai from the residence of the Bishop of Otukpo, Bishop Michael Ekwoyi Apochi.

AFRICA/NIGERIA - Diocese of Gboko closes four facilities in Ihugh for security reasons

Abuja – St Winifred Secondary School, also known as St Winifred Girls’ Secondary School; St Winifred Nursery and Primary School; St Thomas Hospital, which includes the Salus Mind Care Centre and the hospital chaplaincy service; and St Winifred Parish. These are the four facilities run by the Diocese of Gboko in Benue State, in north-central Nigeria, whose indefinite closure has been announced for security reasons.The decision was made public by William A. Avenya, Bishop of Gboko, in a pastoral letter and decree dated 12 October and countersigned by the diocesan chancellor, the Rev. Marcellinus Wende. The measures order the closure of the four Church facilities located in Ihugh, in the Vandeikya Local Government Area. The suspension of activities took effect on 12 October and will remain in force until lasting peace has been restored and credible security guarantees are in place.The decision was taken “with a heavy heart, after much prayer, reflection and consultation”, Bishop Avenya writes. “Since its foundation, the Church of Gboko has walked in the land of the Tiv people as a servant of the Gospel, building schools, caring for the sick and nourishing the faithful with the Word of God and the Sacraments. In Ihugh, as in many other places, this mission has been carried out with joy, sacrifice and love,” the Bishop recalls.However, “because of repeated harassment, attacks and acts of destruction”, the diocese has been forced to suspend its activities in the area.Among the incidents cited by Bishop Avenya are “the repeated burning of the dormitories at St Winifred Secondary School in Ihugh”, which occurred on 28 October 2025, 10 and 15 May 2026, and 11 October 2026. These acts, the Bishop states, destroyed accommodation for students entrusted to the school’s care, undermined years of work and sacrifice, and seriously endangered the lives and safety of students, teachers and staff.Bishop Avenya also recalls repeated thefts at St Winifred Parish, criminal incidents at S
