The Peace and Service Consultation of the Europe and Middle East Section (EMES) of the Friends World Committee for Consultation (FWCC) has issued a statement in the aftermath of the attacks in Paris and Beirut.
The statement said that FWCC-EMES mourned with those who had lost someone in the attacks, while acknowledging ‘the anxiety and fear people are feeling across France, Lebanon and elsewhere’. It called on governments and the European Union ‘to break the endless cycle of violence that has been fuelling war and terror in recent years’, advising European governments to support the political settlement of the conflict in Syria and foster economic development in the region.
