THE country’s Catholics marked the sixth anniversary of the Easter bombings that killed 279 people with a silent march and demands for justice.
Several investigations into the April 21, 2019, bombings, which targeted three churches and three hotels, concluded that the attacks were carried out by homegrown fighters who claimed affiliation with the Islamic State group.
