✣ Pope hails 'wisdom of the poor' in Nairobi
What happened? The Pope denounced the conditions slum-dwellers had to live in during a visit to a Nairobi slum last week, saying that access to safe water was a human right and that everyone should have dignified housing. Francis insisted on access to a basic sewage system, rubbish collection and electricity as well as schools, hospitals and sports facilities. “To deny a family water, under any bureaucratic pretext whatsoever, is a great injustice,” he said.
