Solidarity with the People of Iraq (18/09/2009)
|
An international Pax Christi delegation visited Iraq. They went to the governorates of Kirkuk, Mosul, Erbil and Dohuk from 10 September through 17 September 2009.
The situation for the Iraqi people is very uncertain and more violence being expected in the period leading up to the elections in January 2010. The delegation encountered many good examples of work for peace.
Pax Christi International is enormously grateful to the Christian bishops and communities as well as the civil society of the region for their warm welcome and hospitality and remains committed to the original goals of this visit to Iraq:
1. to express solidarity with all Iraqi people;
2. to gain a better understanding of Iraq’s complex reality; and
3. to propose concrete actions that support the ongoing efforts of Iraqi people for peace and reconciliation in their country based on what was seen and heard.
