Pope visits South Sudan on historic peace mission – BBC News

Pope Francis and the Archbishop of Canterbury are making a historic joint foreign visit to South Sudan.

Their mission is to bring hope and to encourage leaders to find a lasting peace in the country, which is suffering from political instability and poverty.

The youngest nation of the world has been ravaged by a bloody civil war since its leaders disagreed over control of the oil-rich country in 2013, just two years after its independence from Sudan.

More than 400,000 people are thought to have died as a result of the conflict.
