Pope calls for calm in Lebanon and asks world for help
Pope Benedict yesterday called on Lebanon to back away from a political crisis and asked the international community to help find urgent, peaceful solutions at this ?grave moment?. ?I ask the Lebanese and their political leaders to have at heart exclusively the good of the country,? the Pope said, calling for ?patient and persevering efforts? and dialogue. Thousands of people descended on central Beirut yesterday ahead of a mass rally called by the Hezbollah-led opposition to escalate their drive to oust Lebanon?s Western-backed government.
The Pope also analysed the situation in the Middle East, where he said tensions had raised ?fears of new violence?. He said Lebanon?s troubles were a source of ?deep concern?.
