South Sudan president Salva Kiir says he was shocked and shaken when the Pope kissed his feet during a visit to the Vatican for a special retreat in April.
Pope Francis kissed the feet of Kiir, his main opponent Riek Machar, Rebecca Garang, wife of former leader John Garang and Taban Deng Gai, Kii’s first vice president.
All four of them looked visibly shocked by the gesture as the Pope knelt down to kiss their feet in turns. In his first reaction since the incident, Kiir said it could signal one of two consequences: a blessing or a curse.
“I was shocked and trembled when His Holiness The Pope kissed our feet. It was a blessing and can be a curse if we play games with the lives of our people,” he said during the opening of the country’s parliament on Tuesday.

I don't know, it doesn't look good for peace. I don't think Francis's kissy toes are making a difference;

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir on Wednesday warned against planned protestts, saying any forceful attempts to seize power in the country would be met with “violent resistance”.

South Sudan has been a politically volatile pile of dung for decades — after a war with the Muslim Arab north, infighting between rival tribes, and independence in 2011.

Literally the only thing that'll stop them from all-out genocide is divine intervention.
