Pope urges return of refugees to Syria
VATICAN CITY, April 21, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Pope Francis urged politicians
Sunday to make a new effort to resolve the Syrian conflict and so help ensure
the return home of millions of refugees and displaced people.
It is “time for a renewed commitment for a political solution (to) …
favour the secure re-entry of the homeless, along with all those who have
taken refuge in neighbouring countries, especially Lebanon and Jordan,”
Francis said in his traditional Easter Sunday address at the Vatican.
