QUERIDA AMAZONIA: THE ECHOES OF THE LONG-LASTING CRY OF AFRICA

Résumé

Querida Amazonian is the Pope's post-Synodal Exhortation. It captures the reality of the Amazon region as one devastated by all forms of societal ills. With an overview of the document, this paper seeks to establish the links the region has with the African Continent as a whole. It argues that both have common traits despite their differences. As a result, it makes propositions that we have common humanity as what affects one necessarily affects all. Enough of the silence in the face of injustice! Should the recommendations of the document be allowed to thrive, a greater good would be attained. This, the paper hopes would be the mark of the new world founded on equity, justice and right. It is but the true love of nature, whose essence we share. This study adopts hermeneutic method.
