The pope also spoke about the violence in Sudan and called for an end to the fighting. He asked for weapons to be set aside and for the international community to help bring about dialogue. The pope also expressed his support for the people affected by war in Ukraine.
The fighting in Sudan has led to a collapse of order. The army and paramilitary Rapid Support Forces signed an agreement for a seven-day ceasefire that will start on Monday evening.
