Persecutionedit
The Minor Seminary of Saint Kisito de Bougui was attacked by Jihadists on the night of February 10. No lives were lost, but severe material damage was reported. The attackers burned two dormitories, a classroom, and a vehicle. Another vehicle was stolen, according to charity Aid to the Church in Need.[1] The seminary had to be moved to Fadi N'Gourma for safety reasons. In July 2022 the diocese claimed that over 90% of the villages were no longer accessible, due to the threat of Islamic terrorism, which has worsened since it began in 2005.[2]
