Sudan believers fear for their future

Sudan’s two million Christians fear for the future of their country, according to a spokesperson for the charity Open Doors.

‘Church leaders I am speaking to are urging everyone to pray,’ says Fikiru Mehari, an Open Doors researcher for the East Africa region. ‘Many fear Sudan is vulnerable to collapse. From this chaos, Islamist extremists could rise and impose harsh Sharia law. This would prove deadly for Christians.’
