SOUTH SUDAN: Catholic Youth set to participate in the World Youth Day in Poland
At least 22 youth from the Catholic Dioceses of South Sudan and Sudan are expected to travel to Poland in July this year to participate in the World Youth Day.
Fr. James William Silgat, Deputy Secretary-General of Sudan Catholic Bishops’ Conference, asked each diocese to send two representatives.
Fr. William explained that the World Youth Day helps the young people to learn how to pray, meditate, share the Word of God and an opportunity of encounter of young people from all over the world with the Pope. He advised all the Catholic Dioceses to assist the youth with some pocket money.
Meanwhile more than 20,000 internally displaced persons have moved out of the protection of civilian sites in the past months, said South Sudan UN Mission official Sam Muhumure.
The UNMISS Relief, Reintegration and Protection Coordinator said that the IDPs left the camps voluntarily after improvement of security in some parts of the country, Radio Bakhita reported.
He calls on South Sudanese to encourage IDPs to willingly return home to enable them take part in rebuilding their communities.
The Coordinator urged government and development partners to provide more basic services in community affected by the conflict to help in the resettlement of displaced persons.
