The Lomé Declaration on the Plight of Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa, signed on 3rd September 2023, highlights the severe persecution faced by Christians across the region due to religious extremism, discrimination, and violence. Convened by citizens from Sub-Saharan Africa, the declaration documents the experiences of Christians, including violence, murder, abduction, and forced displacement. It calls for governmental responsibility to uphold rights, protect victims, and ensure justice, while urging the Church to unify and advocate for the persecuted. The declaration also appeals to the global Christian community and international bodies to support efforts against extremism, promote human rights, and prioritize the security of Sub-Saharan Christians as a matter of global peace.
