Pope Francis urges peace in Sudan


Vatican City (AFP) – Pope Francis says he is following the events in Sudan with ‘concern’ as fighting rages for a second day. Speaking from St Peter’s Square, the pontiff urged ‘dialogue’ and the abandonment of weapons in the troubled African nation where battles between rival generals, who seized power in a 2021 coup, have left over 50 civilians including three UN staff dead and sparked international alarm.
