Pope Leo XIV has issued a powerful appeal to the international community, urging immediate humanitarian aid for Sudan’s people, who are enduring a devastating civil war and a catastrophic natural event. Speaking in St. Peter’s Square, the pontiff expressed solidarity with families grieving after a deadly mudslide in Darfur’s Marra Mountains, which is believed to have killed over 1,000 people. The tragedy compounds the suffering caused by Sudan’s civil war, which has left civilians experiencing famine, violence, and a growing cholera outbreak. The Pope stressed the need for diplomacy to end the fighting between the army and Rapid Support Forces, urging an inclusive dialogue to restore peace.
