It\u2019s a lovely gesture, but the situation in South Sudan calls also for something more,\u201d said Cardinal Turkson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWithout a situation of peace, which makes possible the <\/span>realization<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> of these projects, everything is difficult,\u201d he stressed. However, the Cardinal was optimistic that peace will be achieved. \u201cAnd not only in South Sudan,\u201d he noted. \u201cThe Pope showed this same solicitude, this same concern for the Central African Republic; we must have the same for South Sudan. The Holy Father would have liked to go to visit South Sudan,\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cHence my optimism is not due to the fact that it is said of this country that it is a \u201cChristian Republic,\u201d because this is not altogether true . . . Other religious are found there; there is Islam, there are Muslims . . .<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The fact is that, in face of a suffering humanity, as the first phrase of\u00a0<em>Gaudium et Spes\u00a0<\/em>states, this suffering cannot but touch the whole world. I am convinced that this country has all the potential necessary to pursue its development,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Having twice visited Sudan, Cardinal\u00a0 Turkson commented \u201cI must say that respect for the Church exists always. Respect for the Church is such that when other diplomats are unable to have audiences, persons of the Church, such as the Nuncio, as me, try to take their message to resolve the situation somewhat. That is why I believe that the Church still has a role to play in this situation, a role to be exercised, whatever it is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWe foresee a visit in the near future to take stock of the situation, to program a plan of aid and assistance in <\/span>favor<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> of the population, which is on the run.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The country\u2019s population is being helped by humanitarian <\/span>organizations<span style=\"color: #000000;\">. \u201cThere is a United Nations base in three places. There are Blue Helmets of the UN, the European Union with their Ambassador and then several organisms and other groups. The people are in need of houses, agriculture, schools, hospitals and there are organisations ready to help in this connection,\u201d he explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, peace is necessary for the <\/span>realization<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> of projects he repeated. \u201cIn the 1960s, Pope Paul VI said that the new name of peace is development but, he added immediately after, development calls necessarily for peace.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><span style=\"color: #000000;
