Others have fled to the countryside or to other countries all together. Church leaders are being killed and the violence is not ending.

Sudanese rebels continue to attack Christians, worsening the anti-Christian movement in this region. When Sudan and South Sudan split, Sudan gained control of the Nuba Mountains and refused to let them go due to the oil fields there. Church doors are being forced to close and Christian literature is being found and destroyed. They have begun violent attacks and bombing of numerous locations, resulting in a number of deaths. There is no sign of attacks ceasing any time soon.

Christians Suffer as Vietnam Crackdowns on Freedom of Expression

5/23/13 Vietnam (International Christian Concern)

One of the few remaining communist countries in the world, Vietnam is aggressively trying to stifle the cry of its people for increased human rights and freedoms, consequently furthering the persecution of Christians. Catholic activists are being charged with imprisonment and suspensions. They are accused of crimes they do not commit. The activists are defending their faith, but the officials exaggerate the truth to be able to arrest them. Religion is regulated in Vietnam and the arrests are becoming more frequent.

Christian Pastor Murdered as Nigeria Declares a State of Emergency

5/28/13 Nigeria (International Christian Concern)

Rev. Faye Pama had just finished a Bible study in Nigeria and was on his way home when he was murdered by a suspected Boko Haram militant. The suspect followed the pastor home, broke into the pastor’s house, dragged him outside and shot him. His daughter followed her father outside and begged for his life, only to witness the murder. The pastor was probably targeted because he was outspoken about his feelings towards Boko Haram. Nigeria declared a state of emergency after the murder to try and stop the violence of Boko Haram.
