Pope urges dialogue as South Africa inspires world
Pope John Paul II called South Africa an inspiration and urged nations in conflict to follow its path of negotiation and elections. He voiced a moral duty to ease African suffering, praised women’s leadership, and asked clergy to address pressing issues amid post apartheid optimism and lingering cynicism. Nelson Mandela attended the outdoor Mass as about 100,000 worshippers gathered at a horse track venue once tied to white privilege.

France fears bomber Kelkal may have fled country
French authorities struggle to locate Khaled Kelkal amid an escalating Islamic militant threat. After 800000 identity checks and 170000 posters, investigators say the suspect, linked to a bomb on high speed tracks, may have escaped France as the search widens. The army was deployed to reinforce borders and protect monuments amid six bombings in six weeks. Authorities warn of a broader network and radical Algerian extremists angered by France's policy in the former colony.

Rwanda’s government said it would not negotiate with refugees involved in last year’s genocide.
