Pope Francis calls for an end to violence in the DRC

Amid escalating violence in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Pope Francis has voiced deep concern and urged an immediate cessation of hostilities.

As M23 rebels, reportedly backed by Rwanda, seized control of Goma, including its airport, the Pope called for urgent measures to protect civilians. “I urge all parties to end hostilities and safeguard the population,” he declared.

The unrest extends beyond the eastern region. In Kinshasa, protests have led to attacks on at least ten foreign embassies, including those of the United States, Rwanda, and France. Pope Francis condemned the violence and appealed for the restoration of peace.

While the international community continues to denounce Rwanda’s alleged involvement in the crisis, the Pope emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution, urging local authorities and global leaders to redouble efforts toward diplomatic solutions.
