It is important to take note that Pope Francis is no more but has been very outspoken on the death and destruction that was happening and is still happening in the theatre of war between Russia and Ukraine, and Israel and Gaza.
Hundreds of thousands or even millions are likely to be attracted to the funeral. One would have thought that for the sake of his wish for a peaceful settlement of these wars, the guns will be silent on the day of his funeral.
Foroyaa will monitor the number of heads of state who will attend, the speeches they give and gauge whether the guns will be silent on the day of the funeral. Will it be a day of peace or a day of escalation of the very wars he has always spoken against and sought to put to an end to. The future will tell.
