Hiiboro Kussala: “Leo XIV, help us achieve peace”

Federico is a statement – the Vatican city

From South Sudan, Bishop Edward Hipuro Kawasala calls an invitation to Liu XIV because his eyes are tired of seeing the bodies full of bullets, villages destroyed by bombs and flames, and refugees without even a bite of bread that they should take to the teeth, children turned into orphans by the long -term civil war:

Killing

Monsignor Hiiboro Kussala, bishop of the diocese of Tombura-Yambio, which extends more than 81,000 square kilometers in the western African nation, wants the Pope to know that the heart of his community is literally and bleeding, without continuing solution.

“Last Saturday – he told the Vatican media – a young man from the diocese of Santa Maria Oxylideura was killed in the city of Thomborah by the rebels who arrived on the night of the surrounding jungle, where the fighters are widely scattered and fierce confrontations.”

I hate and pain

When he was shot in Bukagaro, the young man, who was also coordinated from the diocese of Cáritas, was sleeping outside the religious temple in which more than five thousand displaced people had been carrying a campaign for months who had to leave their homes so that they were not trapped in the claws of the conflict.

These thousands of men, women and children, who, like a young woman who was dead, live under shallow, unsafe plastic stores and improvised cotton, are now afraid.

An endless hunger

The bishop admits that among them are those who feel that even what they thought was a safe place no longer. Psychological suffering that adds to the hunger and the difficulties that they already have to bear:

Refugees increase

The entire country, which was destroyed by the clashes between the government army and the opposition armed militias, are subjected to hunger because the economy literally drowns. In addition, Monsignor Hiiboro Kussalaa adds, to the complexity of the situation, there is also “refugees fleeing from the neighbor Sudan in the war. They are really many: we should have helped them, but now we cannot. ”

The most affected areas

The Sudanese regions have become more affected by the clashes more every day:

Heart

Despite all this, the bishop entrusted the fourteenth heart of Liu, the desperate church, the entire church church and the residents who are eagerly awaiting peace. On the day the young pastoral agent was killed, the introduction had addressed even gangsters in a statement, and asked them to give up through armed conflict and take the path of reconciliation.

“They do not serve their people or their cause – wrote – but they destroy their brothers. Choose peace, leave weapons. ” The guidance that appears to have completely fell into a completely broken bag.
