Pope Benedict XVI launched an appeal on Monday to people involved in arms sales and trafficking, to question their behaviour.Benedict, speaking with the new Ambassador of Cameroon to the Holy See Antoine Zanga, launched an appeal "to all the people involved in arms sales and trafficking, often with very lucrative interests, to question themselves on the consequences of their behaviour."
"May the international community join forces with the local communities to place peace as the priority in every country," said the pontiff, quoted by the Vatican media service.
Benedict also asked the international community for the cancellation of Cameroon's debt and a more fair distribution of wealth.
Cameroon, a former German, British and French colony, is located in West Africa and is one of the world's poorest countries.
