CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis expressed his closeness to the people of Chad following a recent terrorist attack and months of flooding.
Members of the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram killed 40 troops in the north-central African nation of 18.5 million (map), which is 57% Muslim, 35% Christian (20% Catholic), and 7% ethnic religionist.
“I express my closeness to the people of Chad, in particular the families of the victims of the grave terrorist attack a few days ago, as well as those who have been affected by flood,” the Pope said on November 1, at the conclusion of his Angelus address.
