In order to end the bloodshed in Iraq, world leaders need “first of
all, the political will,” the apostolic nuncio in that country told the
Catholic News Agency.
“If the international community—if they really want to make peace, to
promote peace—they can engage more intensively,” said Archbishop
Alberto Ortega.
He said that diplomats must be guided not by their
countries’ national interests, but by the needs of the suffering people
in Iraq.
“There are concrete people with a face and a family,” he
reminded them.
