Sudan (text reproduced here; link to changing page): More than 10 Christian churches and a church-run vocational training center at the sprawling Wad el Bashier camp in West Omdurman , Sudan, have been demolished within the past two months. According to sources in Khartoum, authorities ordered the destruction of the makeshift worship centers erected by displaced Christians as part of an urban re-planning exercise. Demolition crews razed centers affiliated with the Anglican, African Inland and Roman Catholic churches, as well as the Sudan Church of Christ. Some mosques have also been destroyed, as well as latrines, shops and bakeries. A recent U.N. report said brick and concrete structures, such as the main Catholic Church in the area, are not expected to be demolished. The camp serves as a temporary home to some 50,000 Sudanese. Residents affected by the re-planning exercise are slowly being allotted plots of land; but in many cases, they are rendered homeless for months. (Compass Direct)
