|
|
Speaking at a public audience in St. Peter's square, Pope Benedict XVI called
|
|
for an immediate end to the fighting in Ivory Coast and Libya, saying that
|
|
"violence and hatred are always a defeat".
|
|
|
|
The Pope has sent his special envoy, Cardinal Peter Kodwo Turkson, to the
|
|
Ivory Coast in the hope of encouraging dialogue and a peaceful solution to the
|
|
conflict.
|
|
|
|
Thousands are reported to have died in the fighting. The UN and aid agencies
|
|
calculate that 1 million people have been forced to flee their homes since the
|
|
fighting began, many of them crossing into neighbouring Liberia or Ghana to
|
|
seek refuge.
|
|
|
|
"I pray for the victims and I am close to all those who are suffering," said
|
|
the Pontiff.
|
|
|
|
"This is why I am delivering a new, heartfelt appeal to all sides to launch a
|
|
peace and dialogue effort in order to stop further bloodshed."
