Caritas Internationalis says that this week's meeting represents a golden opportunity to address the continuing humanitarian disaster in Darfur continues.
"Caritas and its partners are witnesses to the appalling suffering of the people of Darfur," Caritas Internationalis Secretary-General Lesley Anne Knight said. "We know that only through a sustainable peace process and an end to violence committed by all sides can that suffering cease.
"The meeting between the Pope and the president of Sudan can be a step forward for the people of Sudan, and particularly of Darfur. It is an important opportunity for engagement and for the humanitarian crisis to be addressed."
