Last week, in the center of Port Sudan’s market area, two of the oldest churches in Sudan were vandalized with red graffiti by two unknown persons. The desecration occurred in broad daylight. On the exterior wall of the Sudan Evangelical Presbyterian Church, they painted the Islamic Shahadah: “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger.” Alongside this is the Quranic verse “There is no God but He, the Lord of the Honorable Throne.” Painted on the Orthodox Church were the words, “Allah is eternal.”
