Description
Who could forget the tragedy which made headlines around the world? Seven monks who had come to the mountains of Algeria for peace and meditation were kidnapped and brutally assassinated by the Armed Islamic Group (AIG). The international community, including Muslims around the globe, was shocked by the AIG’s action. In Si nous nous taisons, René Guitton, who grew up in North Africa, untangles the intricate plot behind the murders. With testimonies from relatives of the seven victims, monks of the religious order, high Christian and Muslim religious authorities, Algerian and French politicians, agents from the secret services and anonymous witnesses, Guitton reveals the truth about their abduction and the reasons behind their death. This thorough investigation sheds new light on a seemingly incomprehensible crime.
