Apart from the terrible fractious situation in modern Syria, torn by an unending internecine conflict, seemingly with no end in sight, with the cost of thousands of dead and hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the fighting and bombardments, there is another terrible scenario, this time in Africa. And not only in Somali and Kenya.

The worst of all human, social and political situations exists in South Sudan, where the country is split between support for two rival leaders. Hundreds of thousands of people are in misery, suffering from rape and starvation on an unprecedented scale.

Caritas Internationalis is doing its best to alleviate the situation in South Sudan, but other special funds are necessary to feed the starving and hungry, many of who have lost at least one member of their family.

The situation in South Sudan calls for urgent and serious mea­sures, if it is ever to register any slight improvement in the lot of its unfortunate peoples.
