Pope Francis who is currently on a visit to Egypt
has said he worries that the rising tensions between the United States
and North Korea could lead to a wide military conflict that would wipe
out a “large part of humanity.”
He called for
renewed diplomacy using third-party intermediaries and for the United
Nations to take a lead role in de-escalating tensions.
renewed diplomacy using third-party intermediaries and for the United
Nations to take a lead role in de-escalating tensions.
He
said,
‘the situation has heated up too much. I always appeal for a
solution through diplomatic means. It’s piecemeal but the pieces are
getting larger, and are concentrated in places which were already hot.
Today a wider war would destroy, I won’t say half of humanity, but a
large part of humanity and culture. It would be terrible. I don’t think
humanity today could bear it.Diplomacy is the best response in these
times’.
