Today I am so thrilled by the news that a young Sudanese woman finally made it out of the country.
Meriam Ibrahim, a young Christian who faced the death penalty for apostasy, was escorted today to the Airport in the company, and of course, the protection of the Italian deputy Foreign Minister himself, who came to Khartoum to rescue her. Italian government airplane took her and her kids to Rome where the Italian prime minster waited at the airport to greet and receive her as official guest of the government.
Today she met with Pope Francis in the Vatican.
