Pope Leo Condemns Global Indifference as Violence Rises in Nigeria and Beyond

Pope Leo addressed pilgrims in St Peter’s Square on Easter Sunday. He warned of a “globalisation of indifference” as violence and hatred spread. He said we are growing accustomed to violence and indifferent to human suffering. He called on world leaders to lay down weapons, choose dialogue, and seek peace. The Pope announced a global prayer vigil for peace on April 11 and reminded the faithful that Christ’s resurrection stands for love, sacrifice, and forgiveness—not force. His appeal comes amid global conflicts and a surge of killings in Nigeria’s North East and North Central, including the recent attack on Gari Ya Waye community. God bless the Holy Father for speaking the truth.
