BENEDICT XVI INVITES THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY TO HELP THE COUNTRIES OF THE
SAHEL
Vatican City, 10 February 2010 (VIS) - This morning in the Vatican, the Holy
Father received in audience twenty-five members of the John Paul II Foundation
for the Sahel (the sub-Saharan region of Africa which includes countries on
the west coast and
central part of the continent). The institution came into being following John
Paul II's first trip to Africa and was formally established with a Chirograph
on 22 February 1984. It is involved in managing and protecting natural
resources, the struggle
against drought and desertification, rural development and the fight against
poverty, through the involvement of local people.
In his address Benedict XVI recalled how in recent months the Sahel "has been
seriously threatened by a significant drop in food supplies and famine, caused
by low rainfall and the consequent inexorable advance of the desert. I exhort
the international
community to concern itself with the extreme poverty of these peoples, whose
living conditions are deteriorating. And I encourage and support the efforts
made by the ecclesial organisations which operate in this field".
In some of the countries in which the Foundation operates Islam is also
present. In this context Benedict XVI expressed his satisfaction at the good
relations that exist with Muslims, and noted "the importance of bearing
witness to the fact that Christ
lives, and that His love goes beyond all religions, races and cultures".
In conclusion the Pope highlighted how "Africa is the continent of hope for
the Church, ... the continent of the future".
