Pope Leo denounces 'tyrants' in Cameroon

The Pope's remarks in Bamenda, the epicenter of a neglected separatist conflict, are seen as a direct response to recent social media attacks from President Donald Trump.

Leo emphasized that God's name should never be used for military or economic gain, a message that resonated with huge crowds in the conflict-ridden Northwest Region.

The visit highlights the Vatican's focus on global peace and the humanitarian crisis exacerbated by the Iran war.

Catholic leaders in the U.S. and Canada have echoed the Pope's appeal, warning against the political use of religious imagery.
