CWN Editor's Note: Bishop David Malloy of Rockford (IL), the chairman of the US bishops’ Committee on International Justice and Peace, wrote a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressing “gratitude for your sustained leadership and collaboration with a wide range of regional and neighboring countries to end the violence in Sudan.”
Bishop Malloy attached for reference a June 30 statement by the bishops of neighboring South Sudan.
