Pope Leo assails 'tyrants' in Cameroon

Pope Leo XIV arrived in the epicenter of Cameroon's separatist conflict to preach a message of peace and reconciliation.

In a speech at the presidential palace, he urged leaders to examine their consciences and stop spending billions on weapons while millions suffer from hunger and neglect.

The Pope's comments were widely interpreted as a rebuke to the Trump administration's military actions in the Middle East.

Despite the political tension, the pontiff continued his 10-day tour of Africa, focusing on the needs of the poor and the environmental impact of global conflicts.
