Pope Leo urges peace in Africa
During an address in the capital, Yaoundé, the Pope called for the 'chains of corruption' to be broken and reminded President Paul Biya of the importance of fundamental freedoms.
This mission to the continent comes at a time of heightened tension between the Vatican and the Trump administration over the war in Iran.
Pope Leo doubled down on his message of peace, stating that the world 'needs to hear' a call for coexistence despite ongoing political criticism.
His 11-day tour will cover four nations and 11 cities, focusing on regional conflicts and the future of the Catholic Church in Africa.
