The postponement of the Pope’s trip to South Sudan is ‘unfortunate’, regrets Deputy Chairperson of the Steering Committee of the National Dialogue.
Gabriel Yoal says Pope Francis’ visit would add power to the unity of South Sudanese.
The Pope was expected to visit South Sudan in October this year after the Catholic and Anglican Churches requested him to come.
Vatican spokesman Greg Burke told journalists on Monday that the trip is ‘not for this year’, but did not mention when it might take place.
