Same shit, different country.
ZANZIBAR CITY, TANZANIA — Tanzanian Christians were seeking justice Thursday, June 14, after hundreds of supporters of a separatist Islamic group burned two church buildings in the East African nation’s semi-autonomous region of Zanzibar.
Last month’s clashes were the latest in a series of attacks that saw dozens of churches destroyed in recent years, Christians and activists said.
Police accused the Uamsho (Awakening) group of ordering its followers to destroy the churches on May 26 and May 27 as part of protests against the recent arrest of 30 of its members.
Christians said the violence began in Stone Town, the historic commercial and tourism center of Zanzibar City, with some 200 Muslims shouting ‘Takbir, Allahu Akbar’ or ‘Allah is great’.
The leader of the Tanzania Assemblies of God (TAG) Bishop Dickson Maganga, told Tanzania’s The Citizen online news service that a group of people raided his church building Saturday, May 26.
