This Wednesday, Pope Francis asked the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRCongo) “not to be seduced by people or groups that incite violence” by criticizing “external and internal” forces causing violence in the country.
“It is shameful and indignant to know that the insecurity, violence and war that have tragically affected so many people are fueled not only by external forces, but also by internal interests and greed,” said the head of the Catholic Church on the second day of his visit to DR Congo. a country that has been plagued by internal conflicts for decades.
During his speech at a meeting with victims of violence organized by the local Catholic Church, Pope Francis also advocated that all women should be “respected, protected and valued” around the world, but especially in the east of this country, where there are more women. more than 100 militias are fighting among themselves and against the armed forces for control of the cobalt mines, which has led to an increase in violence and casualties in recent months.
