“A firm condemnation” of the terrorist attacks that on Saturday 20th and Monday 22nd June hit the cities of Kirkuk and Baghdad was expressed last night by Pax Christi France, in the person of its president, the bishop of Troyes, Marc Stenger, who also would like to hold an international conference on Iraq. “Once again – the prelate states –, the Iraqi people are living days of death and desolation. We firmly condemn this renewed use of violence. We express all our deepest solidarity to this martyr people and we do not forget that we have to take action at all levels to help them build a future of hope, peace and national unity”. In addition, mgr. Stenger urges the French “politicians” to do something “to stop such situations which breach the right to respect people’s integrity, the guarantee to be able to live in peace at home, the possibility of a pluralism of cultures and religious confessions”. “To fight face to face these murderers who kill so many innocent people”, the president of Pax Christi France would like to hold an international conference, on France’s initiative and under the aegis of the European Union and the States of the region, to restore peace and hope for the future of the Iraqi population.
