Pope Leo Visits Equatorial Guinea

The pontiff addressed 600 detainees at Bata prison, urging them to maintain their dignity despite their circumstances.

Human rights advocates expressed concern that the visit could be used to legitimize the regime, which has been paid millions by the Trump administration to receive deported migrants.

Pope Leo warned that humanity's future is 'tragically compromised' by the neglect of Africa's needs and the persistence of historical injustices.

He celebrated a final mass at Malabo Stadium before returning to Rome, ending an 11-day journey across the continent.
