Pope Francis urges world leaders to seek peace between Sudan’s warring parties, as humanitarian organizations say time is running out for millions of people in the African nation.
“I invite everyone to pray for Sudan, where the war that has lasted over a year has yet to find a peaceful solution. May weapons be silenced.”
Pope Francis made that appeal on Sunday as he prayed the Angelus in St. Peter’s Square.
The Pope urged international leaders and Sudanese authorities to help Sudan and its many displaced people.
“May Sudanese refugees find welcome and protection in neighboring countries,” he added.
Pope Francis also prayed for peace in “martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, and Myanmar.”
“I appeal to the wisdom of leaders, so that escalation may cease and every effort may be spent in dialogue and negotiations,” he said.
