The Pope's meeting with survivors, victims of the violence in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of the Congo Survivors of the ongoing conflict in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo shared stories of brutal violence, including mass killings and mutilation, abduction and lost relatives, serial rape and sexual slavery, and displaced people living in overcrowded and unsanitary refugee camps.

“Enough! Stop getting rich at the cost of the poor, stop getting rich from resources and money stained with blood!” “Even in the East, peace is possible! Let us believe this! And let us work for it, without delegating it to others.”The Holy Father then spoke about the two ways of saying “yes,” beginning with saying “yes” to reconciliation. Once more addressing the survivors, praised their desire to commit themselves “to forgiving one another and to rejecting war as a means of resolving differences.”

Finally, the Pope highlighted the “decisive ‘yes’, the yes to hope.” Hope, he said, has a source, like a wellspring: Jesus. “With Jesus, evil no longer has the last word over life,” he said, pointing again to Jesus triumphing over death and the grave.
