Tribal clashes in Pakistan’s Kurram district have claimed over 37 lives and injured scores more. The violence, involving the Alizai and Bagan tribes, follows a deadly attack on a convoy and has led to road closures, shortages, and widespread fear. Authorities are struggling to restore peace amidst escalating sectarian tensions.
Pope Francis, during his visit to Papua New Guinea, emphasized the importance of the ‘church of the peripheries,’ urging for peace and unity in the face of tribal violence. He celebrated the local Catholic community and missionaries, calling for an end to divisions and the embrace of harmony.
