Maluku Island Massacre

Focus on Faith

Available for over a year

One hundred and fifty die as Christians and Muslims clash on Indonesian Maluku Islands. Whole villages have been burnt down and followers of both faiths hacked to death in the attacks targeting women, children, churches and mosques. Also on the programme, a possible sainthood for Mother Teresa comes sooner than expected.
