African faith leaders want fresh debt forgiveness for African countries

African faith leaders on Friday called for fresh rounds of debt forgiveness for the continent as the world approaches the 2025 Jubilee year.

The Jubilee Year, observed every 25 years in the Catholic Church, is a significant period dedicated to forgiveness and reconciliation. It is a time for spiritual renewal, where believers seek to restore their relationship with God and others.

According to a press statement released by the faith leaders who convened in Kigali, Rwanda, the ongoing struggles faced by millions across Africa were at the heart of the new call.
