Luanda (Fides Service) - "At last after 25 years, Angola is living Christmas in peace" Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu, Nuncio to Angola told Fides Service. "The situation is still difficult especially for former rebel soldiers and their families, who have been living in assembly camps since the peace agreement reached this Spring. Some of the camps have been dismantled because the people have returned to their villages. Resettlement is complicated and the local Church is fully engaged in offering assistance, food, clothing, other basic necessities, tools and seeds. The aim is to help them become self-supporting. Everyone is looking forward to Christmas in peace. The Christmas present I would share with the rest of the world are the smiles on the faces of a church-run centre for the disabled which I visited recently. The smile on the faces of people, suffering deeply often in mind as well as body, is truly a sign that God's love brings light even to the darkest and most desperate places. (Fides Service 21/12/2002)
