Pope blasts 'tyrants' in Cameroon
Pope Leo XIV arrived in the epicenter of Cameroon's separatist conflict to deliver a vigorous call for global peace and an end to corruption.
In his address at the presidential palace, the pontiff sharply criticized world leaders who spend billions on 'killing and devastation' while neglecting human welfare.
The visit is taking place under intense security as Leo navigates a region battered by nearly a decade of separatist violence.
His comments have been interpreted as a direct response to recent social media attacks by President Trump, who has characterized the Pope's foreign policy stances as weak.
