Two churches in Port Sudan were defaced in coordinated acts of vandalism, with Islamic declarations painted in red graffiti on their exterior walls. The incidents occurred last week in the center of the city’s market area.

At the Sudan Evangelical Presbyterian Church, the Islamic Shahadah, which reads “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger,” was scrawled alongside a Qur’anic verse, “There is no God but He, the Lord of the Honorable Throne,” the U.K.-based group Christian Solidarity Worldwide reported.

On the walls of the nearby Orthodox Church, vandals sprayed the phrase “Allah is eternal.”

Both churches are located across from a police station and near government offices in Port Sudan, which functions as the country’s de facto capital.
