Peace, not indictment, stirs Sudanese

For years, Mohammed Ali has been hearing relatives and friends tell how government-backed militiamen torched villages in his native Darfur, raped women and shot fleeing civilians.

The painful past and present have become a way of life for Ali and his tribe, so much so that the news that the president of Sudan has been indicted on genocide charges seems to leave him cold.

'I just want to see peace in Darfur. Nothing else,' said Ali, a father of eight who came from Darfur to live in the capital, Khartoum, as a child.

Pope says world's resources being squandered

The world's natural resources are being squandered in the pursuit of 'insatiable consumption,' Pope Benedict XVI said Thursday in a speech urging followers to care more for the environment and reconnect with the principle of peace.

Benedict, speaking to more than 200,000 pilgrims gathered for the Roman Catholic church's youth festival, expanded on a theme that has led him to be dubbed 'the green pope.' The crowd, massed on a disused wharf in Australia's largest city, regularly erupted in cheers that gave the event the feel of a sporting event.
