Priest says horrors he’s heard in confessional suggest ‘Devil has taken up residence’ in Cameroon…

Based on what he’s heard in the confessional amid a bitter civil war, a Catholic priest serving in his African country’s troubled southwestern region says “the Devil has unleashed himself on the world and has taken up residence in Anglophone Cameroon.” The priest, who asked not to be identified for security reasons, says the separatist conflict rocking Cameroon’s two English-speaking regions has not only brought untold hardship to the people, but is replete with horrendous stories of heinous crimes and sins, and he is witness to those sins as he hears confessions.
