Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Pope Francis condemned the numerous \u201cstumbling blocks\u201d to peace in the world during his traditional message for Easter.<\/b><\/p>\n

In front of 100 000 Roman Catholics massed in St. Peter\u2019s Square at the Vatican, the pope expressed his \u201cdeep concern\u201d because of the attacks of recent days in the Middle East, which threatens according to him the \u201cdialogue\u201d between Israelis and Palestinians, against the background of renewed violence in the region.<\/p>\n

In 2022, his message gave a special place to the war in Ukraine. \u201cComfort the wounded and those who have lost loved ones to the war, and allow prisoners to return safely to their families,\u201d he said, calling on the international community to \u201cput an end to this war and to all the conflicts that bloody the world\u201d.<\/p>\n

Citing some 20 countries, the head of the 1.3 billion Catholics highlighted \u201cLebanon, which is still seeking stability and unity,\u201d Tunisia and its \u201csocial and economic problems,\u201d the\u201dserious socio-political and a humanitarian crisis\u201d in Haiti and the \u201cvictims of international terrorism\u201d in Burkina Faso, Mali, Mozambique and Nigeria.<\/p>\n

He also thought of the victims of the February earthquake in Turkey and Syria, which killed more than 56 000 people.<\/p>\n
