Pope Leo XIV is wrapping up his visit to Cameroon with a Mass in the capital Yaounde.

President Paul Biya was among the thousands on hand for the celebration, which had a joyous atmosphere.

Leo is heading next to Angola for the third leg of his four-nation African tour.

In his visit to Cameroon, Leo has sought to encourage especially young people to have hope despite senses of disillusionment.

And he has railed against the exploitation of the African continent's natural resources and people.
