Pope Francis begins historic visit to Iraq, calls for end to militant violence

Pope Francis arrived in Iraq on Friday, the first time a pontiff has visited the war-torn country. It comes amid security concerns due to a recent spate of rocket and suicide bomb attacks. The pope was greeted by songs and dances by performers in traditional costumes.
Several Christians in Iraq who were among the limited number of people welcomed to wave at the Pope's convoy expressed their excitement at the opportunity, calling it a "one of a kind" visit.
During the first day of his visit, Pope Francis delivered a speech about the "disastrous effects" war has had on Iraq and criticized the factional and foreign interests which have destabilized the country and wider region and how it's hit ordinary people the hardest.
"May the clash of arms be silenced ... may there be an end to acts of violence and extremism," he said, addressing Iraqi President Barham Salih, politicians and diplomats at the presidential palace.

I'm also Iraqi Canadian (non Christian), and it was really emotional for me as well! It was such a beautiful sight to see the Pope in Iraq. I hope this sends a strong message to all the hateful people who want to destabilize and hurt others. We can all coexist. Seriously though, that visit by the Pope makes me so happy. It just feels like he truly did it a gesture of good will to the Iraqi people. The security challenges and potential for things to go wrong must've immensely weighed on everyone involved, and they still went ahead and did it. Such an amazing act of good will and charity. If someone did not respect the Pope before, how can they not respect him now? Absolutely amazing! 😭 🇨🇦 🇮🇶

Bravo for Iraqi people inviting our Pope! Christians both Orthodox, Chaldean, Coptic and Catholic have been persecuted there for so very long! My thoughts and prayers are with His Holiness and the Iraqi Christians! This opens the door for their support, acceptance and World Peace 🙏 I hope to visit as a tourist there one day!

@Larry Appelton let's see Jordan is one of the most advanced in the Arab world, a staunch Western ally .. Lebanon though kind of a shaky country is at peace with its neighbours and even with isis next door heretofore and a lot of refugees from Syria didn't revert to civil war or succumb to extremism and violence. Iraq has ejected smashed isis in its territory with assurance support from the Coaltion and air campaign few yrs back , still suffers a certain amount of violence from isis yes tho doesn't seem to be very much anymore. the only bad actor in the region seems to be Iran for the most part , esp with its proxies in Syria

[@mikeneufield2855]

@Larry Appelton and quite a number of the largely moderate Arab countries in the region have peace treaties with Israel, Jordan Egypt, a few of the Gulf states, .. and by and large is a mutual, understanding with the Saudis esp re Iran, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. so whatever ' the plan ' was a 100 yrs ago vis a vis the Levant was well thats a century old , nd the Sykes picot agreement is ( long) past expiry
