Sudan Deports Christian Women, Separates Families
Faith Facts
- Sudan deported over 100 mostly Christian South Sudanese women, with dozens separated from their children.
- Authorities conducted night raids, jailing women without legal support and denying them the chance to care for their children.
- Islamist influence and ongoing civil war have escalated persecution, putting Christians in grave danger.
Recent deportations have torn families apart, leaving children stranded and vulnerable in Sudan. Christian leaders and human rights advocates warn this action defies both international law and the biblical call to protect the oppressed.
Separated mothers shared harrowing stories, with one stating:
“I came empty-handed, leaving behind my two kids ages 3 and 9, and nobody is taking care of them.”
Some women reported arrests without due process and harsh treatment in jail, such as one saying:
“It was inhumane.”
The Christian community urges prayer and advocacy for believers enduring injustice and for the restoration of families reeling from this cruelty.
Let us stand firm in faith, defend religious liberty, and shine God’s love on all who suffer persecution for Christ’s sake.
