Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>A Comboni nun was killed in the attack in a mission in Chipene. in the province of Nampula in northern Mozambique, which took place on the night between September 6 and 7.<\/p>\n

Sister Maria De Coppi, an 84-year-old Combonian nun from Santa Lucia di Piave was killed in the attack. The nun had been in Mozambique since 1963.<\/p>\n

According to reports sent to Fides, the attackers destroyed the mission structures, including the church, the hospital and the primary and secondary school. Sister Maria was hit by a bullet in the head as she tried to reach the dormitory where the few remaining students were.<\/p>\n

Two missionaries from Concordia-Pordenone diocese managed to get away: Fr. Loris Vignandel, 45, from Corva and former parish priest of Chions (Pordenone) and Fr. Lorenzo Barro, who was rector of the diocesan seminary of the city of Destra Tagliamento.<\/p>\n

\u201cSister Maria\u2019s fellow nuns have set off to reach Chipene and take her body to bury it in another mission\u201d, says to Agenzia Fides His Exc. Mgr. Inacio Saure, Archbishop of Nampula.<\/p>\n

On the identity of those who perpetrated the attack, Msgr. Suare reports that \u201cwe are not sure if they are Islamic terrorists even though it is very likely that they were the ones who attacked the mission\u201d.<\/p>\n

The province of Nampula together with that of Cabo Delgado is victim of the instability caused by the presence of terrorist groups that refer to the Islamic State. While in Cabo Delgado the operations of the military from Rwanda and other nations who came to support the Mozambican soldiers were concentrated, the province of Nampula has seen a resurgence of jihadist attacks in recent months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn reality \u2013 says Msgr. Saure \u2013 jihadist groups continue to operate in Cabo Delgado too, but in our province the assaults have forced the population to flee. We do not know how many people have sought refuge in the forest. It is a terrible drama and still difficult to quantify\u201d.<\/p>\n

An Italian nun, Sister Maria De Coppi, was killed in a terrorist attack in Chipene, Mozambique, late on Tuesday, her religious order, the Comboni Missionary Sisters, said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The order said the terrorists raided the mission, killed De Coppi, and set fire to mission\u2019s church, the nuns\u2019 homes, the hospital and its equipment.<\/p>\n

It said two other nuns, one Italian and another Spanish, managed to escape and hide in a forest with a group of young people.<\/p>\n

It said the order was trying to get the survivors evacuated with the help of the Italian foreign ministry\u2019s crisis unit.<\/p>\n

Another Catholic body, the Centro Missionario Concordia Pordenone, said two priests serving at the mission, Loris Vignandel and Lorenzo Barro, had managed to get away too and were alive.<\/p>\n
