African Countries Are Experiencing the Worst Drought in 40 Years | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Countries in Africa are experiencing severe drought, which the United Nation is calling the worst drought in 40 years. Nations like Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia are facing an extreme lack of water and food. With rising food prices and lack of international aid, those in the affected nations fear the situation is only getting worse. Editor-in-Chief of ACI Africa, Fr. Don Bosco Onyalla, joins to talk about the famine and drought countries in Africa are facing. He shares a little about what is happening in Kenya, as he is currently there. Kenyan Catholic bishops are trying to raise over $2 million to help those who have been affected by the drought. Fr. Bosco discusses what the funds will go towards. On another note, last week 2 more priests in Nigeria were kidnapped in the Diocese of Sokoto, along with 2 other people. Fr. Bosco explains what more is known about this and gives us an update on Christian persecution in Nigeria. Pope Francis is also planning to visit the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan in July. Fr. Bosco tells us about the Holy Father's plans for the trip.
