As violent fighting between rival armed military factions continues in Sudan, the World Council of Churches has added its voice in calling for an immediate end to armed hostilities for the sake of the suffering Sudanese people.
The fierce fighting has caused the suspension of many schools, health facilities, markets and other basic services, as well as of vital humanitarian operations in the country.In the statement, Reverend Pillay expresses the WCC’s deep concern about the wider impact of the violence on the Sudanese population, who “was already experiencing significant humanitarian needs, political and economic challenges, a high rate of inflation, widespread poverty, and severe impacts of climate change.
“We call on all Sudanese leaders to remember their responsibilities towards the people and to work to address the political, economic, social and environmental challenges affecting the country.”While expressing prayerful closeness to the families of the victims and the injured, Reverend Pillay concludes by inviting “international ecumenical solidarity, support and prayer for the Churches of Sudan” and prays that “God may grant peace and restore stability in Sudan”.
