ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY VISITS SUDAN
The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. George Carey, recently visited Sudan, where he met a number of Sudanese officials. He also visited Juba in Southern Sudan and camps of the displaced around Khartoum. He held masses in Khartoum and Juba. In his meeting with President Omer Al-Bashir, the Archbishop raised the issues of human rights, the treatment of Christians and the civil war. The Sudanese media reported that Bashir denied any human rights violations against Christians and assured the Archbishop that 'Christians enjoy all their rights and freely practice their religion, unlike the Muslims in Britain'. He said claims of human rights violations are baseless and are instigated by the political agenda of Amnesty International.
