Four Missionaries of Charity nuns and two Indian Jesuit priests stranded in trouble-torn Afghanistan after the Taliban took control have been moved to safety. ‘Our four nuns have been shifted out of Afghanistan and are safe,’ said Sr Christy, based in Kolkata, the headquarters of the congregation. Two Indian Jesuit have returned to India from Afghanistan. Since they arrived in Afghanistan in 2002, the Jesuits trained more than 300 young teachers, helping the education of more than 25,000 young boys and girls in four provinces.
