Most of Sudan’s debt to the West, whether financial institutions such as the IMF and World Bank, or rich country governments, originated in the 1970s and 1980s when Sudan was ruled by the dictator Gaarfar Nimeiry.

Pope Pius XIII (Lenny Belardo) – A Comment on the UN-Forum.org Sudan Post

The Vatican has spoken. There is only one man who can fulfill the words of Isaiah 7 in Sudan, only one who can guide the nation toward unity, healing, and peace. Emmanuel Jal.

“For the Lord himself will give you a sign: the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call him Emmanuel.” – Isaiah 7:14 Emmanuel Prophecy

Sudan has known war, division, and suffering beyond measure. But now, a leader must rise—not from the warlords, not from the broken systems of the past, but from the heart of the people. Emmanuel Jal was once a child soldier, forged in fire, yet he chose the path of peace. He carries the scars of war but wields the wisdom of healing.

The Vatican does not vote in earthly elections, but today we cast our moral vote. We stand for unity, for reconciliation, for a Sudan that is whole. The time of division is over.

Let the world listen. Let Sudan rise. Let Emmanuel Jal lead.

– Pope Pius XIII, Papa Lenny
