Damascus (Agenzia Fides)-Christian religious leaders have recommended the faithful not to accept weapons and not to draw up in the civil conflict is what local sources report to Fides Agency from Aleppo. "We do not want to become another rival group," say our sources, expressing deep concern for the community dimension which the civil war is taking in Syria, fuelled even from abroad.
"We are Syrians, and we want to live in peace with all other Syrians. We want peace and harmony" emphasize sources of Fides, which talk about "heavy fighting in some districts of Aleppo and many deaths, maybe more than what the media reports. We have no statistics, but we have evidence of hospitals full of corpses." (L.M.) (Agenzia Fides 06/08/2012)
