Stopping food aid in Ethiopia from the U.S. and United Nations caused severe hunger that has killed hundreds in the northern Tigray region in recent weeks, and one local bishop said the situation is "beyond human imagination." @TrentonMonitor @Nzwili

Pope Francis: “Dear brothers and sisters, I return to Rome with you even closer to my heart. Let me repeat: you are in my heart, you are in our hearts, and you are in the hearts of Christians worldwide! Never lose hope. And lose no opportunity to build peace."
I am back on the desk- both virtual and physical. I am looking forward to opportunities to collaborate further and work on new areas. I wish you all a prosperous and successful 2023. Hey, don't stay too far.
We would like to call all those assembling in #COP27 to remember the call made recently by local communities in their struggle against large-scale land acquisition. As discussions on climate crisis intensify, land and climate justice must go hand in hand.https://t.co/898jhoMKiU
The cardinal said it was clear the communities would be better if their resources were not captured by powerful people and corporations and given away by weak public institutions. @Nzwili reports

#COP27 People in eastern Kenya are frequently glancing at the sky. A few days ago, little showers of rain came. Farmers quickly planted, but now, the sky is confusing as the heat and scorching sun begin to bite. Little clouds every morning hold a promise, but fade quickly.
On the eve of #COP27, drought-hit regions in eastern Africa have seen some rain. Now, Fr.Ndonga says the priority for the farmers is seeds. Not seeds, but quality seeds if they have to get harvests to beat food shortages.https://t.co/NaurqkDclJ
Writing from a #ClimateCrisis hit region, it hurts to encounter families suffering hunger due to failed rains, crops& impossible food costs. I see it often, the drought, the water scarcity & snuffed livelihoods. Here, people yearn for solutions, at least, as late as yesterday.
COP27 will be held in the Southern Egyptian city of Sharm El Sheik from Nov.6-18. Ahead of the conference, various faith groups have re-stressed climate change as a moral outrage, a tragedy, and a structural sin.https://t.co/j5nlbbU8Au.
"Wherever you look on this continent, a continent already struggling due to an unjust global economic system, you see climate change holding back the potential for development," said an African cardinal. @Nzwili reports
My priest source from #Tigray wept as he told me how the people of Tigray are being wiped out.The #UN boss says the war is out of control. https://t.co/xs2anlJ46q
