Pope Calls for Peace in Tanzania

Pope Leo XIV on Sunday evening appealed for peace in the war-torn East African nation, urging the warring parties to address their differences amicably.

He urged the Christian faithful to pray for Tanzania, revealing that the recent disputed presidential elections had culminated in fierce violence that he said led to loss of lives.

While warning against illegal entry into the country, the police boss called on Tanzanians hosting the said individuals to report the foreigners to the nearest police stations for action.

Additionally, the police Spokesperson urged Tanzanians who spot suspicious activities within their residential areas to report to police station chiefs, district police chiefs, or regional police commanders.

"While the Police Force continues to monitor them, any citizen who has hosted or lives with any unknown foreigner should immediately report to the local government leaders," the officer noted.

May we also pray for Tanzania, where, following the recent elections, violent clashes have broken out, leaving many victims. I urge everyone to avoid all forms of violence and to follow the path of dialogue," the Pope said.
