(ANSA-afp) - MANAMA, 06 NOV - Pope Francis said Sunday he was
praying for "suffering peoples of the Middle East", at the end
of a Bahrain visit promoting dialogue with Islam but marked by
accusations of rights abuses in the Gulf state. In a final
address before boarding a flight to Rome, he also urged
congregants to pray "for Ukraine, which is suffering so much",
and for an end to the war. He told Lebanese congregants he was
praying for "your beloved country, so weary and sorely tried, as
well as (for) all peoples suffering in the Middle East".
