Bishop Pleads with Young Africans to ‘Stay Home’ Africa Needs You

Rorate Caeli, Antonion Socci: Mons. Djomo opened the forum by inviting young Africans “to be wary of the deceptions of the new forms that lead to the destruction of the culture of life and moral, spiritual values”, since the cultural and spiritual identity of a people is a treasure and only nihilistic globalism can think that men and peoples are commodities that can be uprooted and transplanted wherever.

Then Djomo exhorted the young Africans not to look for illusory short-cuts to prosperity by fleeing their own country:

“Use your talents and other resources at your disposition to renew and transform our continent and for the promotion of justice, peace and lasting reconcilement in Africa. You are the treasure of Africa. The Church is counting on you, your continent needs you”. Full report is here.
