Pope Francis urges religious leaders to speak against injustice

Pope Francis has told clergy in South Sudan to raise their voices against injustice, on an unprecedented trip to the war-torn country. On the first full day of his visit, Pope Francis met hundreds of South Sudan's religious leaders, at the Cathedral of Saint Therese in the capital Juba.

During his address, he urged them not to remain neutral, and instead speak up against "the injustice and the abuses of power that oppress".

Pope francis travelled with the heads of the churches in England and Scotland, including The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.

At least 20 people were killed in a cattle raid on the eve of the pope's visit in the nation, ravaged by civil war, since becoming independent in 2011.
