“I encourage all sides to take the path of dialogue among brothers of the same nation, in full respect of human rights and the rule of law,” Francis said. The unrest, which until this week had been concentrated in Peru’s south, has prompted the government to extend a state of emergency to six regions, curtailing some civil rights., where at least seven civilians were killed this week when armed forces launched air strikes on a village in the country’s central Sagaing region.
