Khartoum (Agenzia Fides) - "Only God's intervention can help the people of this country to overcome the current situation". Faced with the conflict that broke out in Sudan on April 15, and after the announcements of agreements and ceasefires that have remained a dead letter, the words of Father Zobinou Komlan Hubert no longer seem to trust human strategies and belligerent promises. This Togolese Salesian, parish priest of the Saint-Joseph church in Kalakla, in the archdiocese of Khartoum, 15 km south of the capital, is witness to the escalation of the fighting which continues to leave thousands injured, dead and displaced.
The situation, reports Father Zobinou, is becoming increasingly difficult due to rising food prices and the lack of water and electricity. We can only continue to pray to God every day for peace in Sudan", the missionary concludes. (AP) (Agenzia Fides, 10/6/2023)
