The United Nations chief says 16 armed groups have responded positively to his appeal for a global cease-fire to tackle the coronavirus pandemic.

Antonio Guterres, UN Secretary-General displayed on a screen at the Environment Ministry as he delivers his speech at the Petersberg Climate Dialogue, in Berlin, Germany, Tuesday, April 28, 2020. Due to the coronavirus crisis, the conference will only be held digitally.

He said at a news conference that his March 23 call “has resonated widely, with endorsements from 114 governments, diverse regional organizations, religious leaders and more than 200 civil society groups spanning all regions.” The secretary-general said he believes “there is an opportunity for peace in Yemen.” He said a cease-fire negotiated by Turkey and Russia in Syria’s northwest Idlib region, the last major opposition stronghold, is holding “but we are still hopeful for a country-wide end to hostilities.”

Diplomats say a draft Security Council resolution voicing support for the secretary-general’s cease-fire call is being held up by a dispute between the United States and China over a reference to the World Health Organization. If adopted, it would be the council’s first resolution related to the pandemic.

Never appeal to terrorist

It would appear armed groups have more decency and humanity than some nation states that have refused to even drop sanctions🤷🏻‍♀️

If the UN has contacts to these groups why not work openly & discuss their concerns with relevant governments.

Does this mean, UN have direct contact with these groups and have power to end wars?! Or is it just that dirty intelligences around the world reporting to CIA are just too busy with Corona?!

Take note POTUS Let US families be happy without war Bring them home Show respect honorably A wild duck will stop with a majestic look & will see pass through with manner (fact) Pay attention!

Does this include the Michigan protestors?

Except in the US where our gun nuts can’t resist pulling their puds in public.

Haha. BS

That dude totally looks like the evil ruler in a sci-fi film. I thought this was a movie ad. SCREW

don't call bio war waged by USA a pandemia.

Clearly GOP-funded US domestic terrorists are not part of this group.

Unfortunately, in Afghanistan both sides involved in war. Every day Afghans lost their lives & we are so bored & hopeless from this evil war.

Someone must have deliberately inserted PRRA Protein Sequence (Furin Cleavage Site) into Covid19 to make the virus deadly. Such a massive mutation at such a surgical precision location is highly unlikely in nature. If China didn't do it, why is it hindering the investigation?

Great, disarm the United States so it stops killing everyone and use that money to pay workers for the next two years. The F-35 doesn't work anyway.

'we will have peace in our time' didn't work then will not work now.

For those who don’t know, the “Open Carry” of firearms, aka a pistol in a holster (not concealed) or a slung rifle, is not prohibited in the state Capital. This isn’t the first time it has happened. In fact it’s happened for 10-15 years. There is no law against it.

Mr antonioguterres Also Pls put pressure on Indian Troops who are consistently violating ceasefire on Kashmir Border in which Innocents citizens have lost their Precious lives.

Was this in Michigan...?

Huh?

If only the right wing loonies in MI and other trump nests would do the same

Well that tweet really brought out the twit parade!

16 out of how many

lol quack u.n and the w.h.o are like 2 drunks arguing what the best way to open that beer is

Has he heard from those cosplay rednecks in MI yet?

Do you suppose he could appeal to Michigan’s ragtag militia?

What about the armed group in Michigan?

But none in Michigan

United Nations is a waste of money.
