Building bridges: FRANCE 24 meets last surviving monk of Tibhirine

Father Jean-Pierre Schumacher is the last surviving monk of Tibhirine. He was part of a group of Trappist monks who, despite the Algerian civil war in the 1990s, decided to stay in their monastery in the Atlas Mountains, living alongside the locals in harmony. In 1996, seven of them were kidnapped and later assassinated by a group of armed men. Their slaying remains unsolved and controversial to this day.
