Open Doors Arise Africa petition

6.2 million displaced Christians: Stop the violence. Start the healing.

Millions of Christians have been driven from their homes by violence and conflict in sub-Saharan Africa. Nobody is talking about it.

"We feel ignored, forgotten. Like we are in the dark," says Pastor Barnabas from Nigeria, who lives in a displacement camp after narrowly surviving a violent attack.

The African church is calling upon the global community to ensure that Christians and other vulnerable individuals in sub-Saharan Africa are treated with dignity and respect through:

  • Protection: Providing robust protection from violent militant attacks
  • Justice: Ensuring justice through fair prosecutions of the attackers
  • Restoration: Bring healing and restoration to all affected communities

The petition is intended to be presented to the African Union, United Nations, EU and local governments around the world in 2026. You can add your voice by signing the petition here
