A Catholic journalist in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is being remembered as a man of peace after he was murdered on Sept. 27 in the Ndosho district of Goma. Edmond Bahati Mbarushimana was shot at close range on his way home from work.
During the Oct. 1 funeral Mass at St. Joseph Cathedral for the late Radio Maria Gomajournalist, Bishop Willy Ngumbi Ngengele of the Goma Diocese said: “I came to know Edmond through Radio Maria as a man of peace, a self-effacing man and a faithful servant, committed and conscientious in everything he did.”
“It’s hard to understand why such a man would be murdered,” Ngumbi said. “I don’t think the most important thing today is to look for answers to all the questions we ask ourselves, but I think the most important thing is to turn to the Lord in communion with all those who mourn Edmond.”
