VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday made an impassioned plea for an end to conflicts in Soma
lia, Sudan's western Darfur region and Burundi. "The news reaching us from some African countries continues to be a cause of deep distress and concern," he said, lamenting "bitter armed conflicts" in Somalia, hundreds of thousands "left to their own devices" in Darfur and clashes in the Burundi capital Bujumbura. Benedict called on "local political officials and the international community to respect their commitments to end the violence."
