Some of you may have heard the story of the exchange between God and St Peter who was a little upset when God was making Africa. “Hey, you’re making a place that’s so beautiful. But aren’t you shooting yourself in the foot, because with such a paradise on earth no one’ll want to come up here.”
“Be patient Peter” answered God. “I haven’t populated it yet”.
This came to mind as I hear about the dreadful catastrophe unfolding in the eastern Nord Kivu province of the (not very) Dermocratic Republic of Congo, which some of us of a certain age called Zaire.
