” “The African country is still affected by a deep gap between the Muslim north and the Christian and animist south. "In addition, there are problems with the culture, the mutual understanding and the credibility of the central government explains cardinal Zubeir Wako -. This is why, as Christians, we have to keep advocating messages of peace, of reconciliation, of understanding. People is waiting for peace, they know the chance of a respectable life depends on peace". The archbishop is not worried about time, which is considered essential for a true reconstruction of Sudan, but at the same time he makes an appeal to international solidarity: "We have no homes, no schools, no public buildings". Places of worship are too few. The church body ‘Aiuto alla Chiesa che soffre’, promoted by the Holy See, which invited Gabriel Zubeir Wako to Cologne, included the "Sudan case" in the priority list for the years to come.
