Pope condemns Eastleigh attacks
By Ochuonyo Victor
Pope Benedict XVI used his Christmas Day address to call for an end to conflicts around the world. In his traditional 'Urbi et Orbi' speech, the Pope touched on the recent grenade attacks in Eastleigh. He condemned the attacks on places of worship and urged residents to live in harmony.
Appearing from the balcony of the Vatican, he spoke to thousands of pilgrims, tourists and locals who gathered in St Peter's square.“May the Redeemer bring help and comfort……and grant peace to Kenya ,where brutal attacks have struck the civilian population and places of worship”
The Pope also condemned the killing of 'defenseless' civilians in Syria and urged Palestine and Israel to find the courage to negotiate.
