Pope Francis approves beatification of Congolese anti-corruption martyr, Floribert Bwana Chui Bin Kositi.

Pope Francis has approved the beatification of Floribert Bwana Chui Bin Kositi, a Congolese government worker killed in 2007 for refusing to transport spoiled rice across the border. Kositi's martyrdom, recognized by the Pope, inspires anti-corruption efforts in war-torn Goma, where his courage resonates deeply. This step towards possible sainthood marks the first Congolese candidate for sainthood, reflecting Pope Francis' broader view of martyrs as social justice advocates.
