Pope Francis Urges South Sudan to Move Toward Peace

On Sunday November 10, Pope Francis called for South Sudan politicians to come to a consensus for the good of the country to end the civil war that has killed at least 400,000 people since it started in 2013. Pope Francis stated, “The South Sudanese people have suffered too much in these last year and awaits with great hope a better future, above all the definitive end to conflicts and a lasting peace.”  

The Pope also encouraged the international community to help South Sudan restore itself. He hopes everyone will help nurture this nation and calls for prayers for them.  

Pope Francis plans on visiting the nation in 2020.
