CWN Editor's Note: The bishops of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (map) have called for respect for the recent ceasefire agreement between DR Congo and neighboring Rwanda.
“All previous agreements had been casually violated, and not given rise to any sanctions,” the bishops stated, as they noted that the conflict in the eastern DR Congo was not received the level of international attention attained by the wars in the Holy Land and Ukraine.
Yet, they added, “the same human lives are being cut short, the same human rights violated, and the same human dignity trampled underfoot.”
