It has only been a few days since the Pope Francis' four-day trip to Iraq. It was the first ever papal visit to the country, which has suffered years of armed conflict. Pope Francis expressed his support of peaceful renovation of Iraq, and he encouraged not only the persecuted community of Iraqi Christians, but also other people in Iraq to forgive one another and to live in mutual respect to all people irrespective of their religion or ethnic origin.

He wants to support peaceful renovation of the country that not that long time ago was caught in a bloody conflict. Systematic violence against the Christian communities lead to hundreds of thousands of believers, especially from the Nineveh Plains, to leave the country. Personally supporting its renovation will be one of the goals of the visit. Caritas Czech republic has been working with refugees in the region helping them restore their livelihoods.
