Pope Leo XIV is travelling to the western Cameroon city of Bamenda to preach a message of peace.
The city is the epicenter of a separatist conflict that humanitarian groups have called one of the world’s most neglected crises.
Leo is set to preside Thursday over a peace meeting involving a Mankon traditional chief, a Presbyterian moderator, an imam and a Catholic nun.
The aim is to highlight the interfaith movement that has been seeking to end the conflict and care for its many traumatized victims.
The pope also plans to celebrate a Mass for the people of Bamenda, located near Cameroon’s western border with Nigeria.
