Anglican head calls for Mozambique trauma support

According to the president of the Anglican Church worldwide, some victims of violence in Mozambique think that jihadist acts are God's retribution.

Visiting displaced persons in the northern Cabo Delgado area, Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby urged churches to support jihadist attack victims in their efforts to recover from their ordeal.

The victims, according to the archbishop, required both financial and emotional support.

"People believe they broke the law. The church assists them in realizing that the tragedy they have experienced is not their fault but rather the product of the callous behavior of individuals," he stated.

He claimed that the church has been consoling them and aiding them in overcoming their trauma.

Therefore, churches can do anything as long as they work together toward a common goal.

On Wednesday, the archbishop's trip to the nation came to a conclusion.

According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, jihadist attacks in northern Mozambique, primarily in Cabo Delgado, have forced almost a million people to flee their homes.
