Pope Francis appeals for prayers for civilians in Goma in the Democratic Republic of Congo, as rebels overrun the eastern city which borders Rwanda.White House freezes funds for Catholic Charities“As I pray for the swift restoration of peace and security, I call on local authorities and the international community to make every effort to resolve the conflict through peaceful means.
“I am also following with apprehension the events unfolding in the capital, Kinshasa,” he said, “and I hope that all forms of violence against people and their property will cease.”Fighting escalated in Goma in recent days as M23 rebels have fought government forces for control of the capital of the DRC’s North Kivu province.
M23 seized the airport on Tuesday and has since sought to consolidate its control over Goma, according to local residents. On Monday, Bishop Willy Ngumbi Ngengele, the diocesan bishop, said shelling hit the neonatal unit of the Maternal General Charité Hospital, which “caused the death of newborns.”Thousands of Goma residents have fled their homes since Monday, adding to the 1 million displaced persons already in the city.
