THE BISHOP of Bujumbura has issued a call for prayer for the strife-torn nation of Burundi after rebels shelled the capital last week, killing 33.

Bishop Pie Ntukamazina reports that on the night of April 17 the city experienced a “terrible shock” as rebels shelled the city with mortar fire for three hours and “simultaneously attacked military positions”.

Heavy weapons including bombs were also used simultaneously in all the quarters of the city for the whole night. Even the following morning, the main streets leading to the town centre were closed until 9:00 am because fighting was still going on,” the bishop said.
