Pope Francis: "Too many people are being held hostage or massacred"
Pope Francis has denounced the "brutal persecution" of religious and ethnic minorities, in his traditional Christmas Day address.
In his second "Urbi et Orbi" - to the city and the world - Christmas message, the pontiff highlighted the plight of victims of conflict in Syria and Iraq.
"Too many people are being held hostage or massacred" in Nigeria, he added.
Pope Francis also urged dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians and condemned Taliban attacks in Pakistan.
Tens of thousands of people turned out on St Peter's Square to hear the Argentine Pope deliver his annual message.
He said Christians in Iraq and Syria had endured conflict for too long, and "together with those belonging to other ethnic and religious groups, are suffering a brutal persecution".
On Wednesday he spoke by telephone to Iraqi refugees in a camp near Irbil, in Iraq's northern Kurdistan region, before celebrating Christmas Eve Mass.
Advances in Iraq by Islamic State militants have forced tens of thousands of Christians and people from other religious minorities to flee.
