Pope: ‘I kneel on the streets of Myanmar and say stop the violence’ | Malay Mail

Wednesday, 17 Mar 2021 05:41 PM MYTSubscribe to ourVATICAN CITY, March 17 — Pope Francis appealed today for an end to bloodshed in Myanmar, saying: “Even I kneel on the streets of Myanmar and say ‘stop the violence’”.

Francis made the appeal, his latest since a Feb. 1 coup, at the end of his weekly general audience, held remotely from the Vatican library because of Covid-19 restrictions.“One more time and with much sadness I feel the urgency to talk about the dramatic situation in Myanmar, where many people, most of them young, are losing their lives in order to offer hope to their country,” he said.

In language symbolising what protesters have done, Francis said: “Even I kneel on the streets of Myanmar and say ‘stop the violence.’ Even I open my arms and say ‘Let dialogue prevail’.” Francis, who visited Myanmar in 2017, said: “Blood does not resolve anything. Dialogue must prevail.” — Reuters
