Specialized Care Helps Persecuted Youth

Between April and July 2024, militants with the radical Islamist group Boko Haram attacked villages of the predominately Christian Hdi tribe in far northern Cameroon 11 different times. During their raids, the jihadis murdered villagers and abducted young people to serve as child soldiers or child brides. As many of the Hdi children who survived were traumatized, some of them received holistic spiritual care designed to help heal their emotional wounds. Afterward, one child told a front-line worker, “This is the first time this year that I have slept more than four hours uninterrupted. When I am in my community, I have to leave the house and go hide in the hills and sleep in the open.” The front-line worker requested prayers for healing for those who have suffered in Islamist attacks and that the attacks will cease.
