Ali Baba lambastes South Sudan leaders for allowing Pope Francis kiss their feet
Nigerian comedian, Ali Baba, has lambasted the South Sudanese leaders who allowed Pope Francis to kiss their feet on Thursday.
The Pope shocked the world when he bent down to kiss the feet of the previously warring South Sudan leaders who were on a two-day spiritual retreat at the Vatican.
The Pope told them,
“I am asking you as a brother to stay in peace. I am asking you with my heart, let us go forward,” the 82-year-old pontiff said after he performed the rare gesture.”
President Salva Kiir and his rival, the former rebel leader Riek Machar, clashed in 2013 leading to a civil war that left 400,000 people dead. But they signed a peace agreement last year that brought the war to an end.
Ali Baba in his reaction via an Instagram post on Friday wrote,
“I never can understand why someone will let another person WHO SHOULDN’T be seen bowing to them, do so and they don’t make any attempt to stop them. It just tells me a lot about the kind of person you are.
“Msheeew. Even people I am older than… as soon as they try to do it, I am meeting them half way. That’s the kind of thing Assad will do.”
