 Pope Francis pleads for peace in Easter message
==========

Pope Francis urged the world to resist 'the logic of weapons' in his Easter message at the Vatican on Sunday. He condemned war as 'always an absurdity and a defeat', raising conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, and beyond. He called for a ceasefire in Gaza, greater aid deliveries to the devastated territory, and the release of hostages taken by Hamas. The pope proposed a 'general exchange of all prisoners between Russia and Ukraine' as the war between the two countries continues. He also urged world leaders to combat human trafficking. Easter Sunday marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is the culmination of Holy Week.
