The event is the largest of the Pope's four-nation Africa tour, highlighting the continent's growing importance to the future of the Catholic Church.

Leo urged young Cameroonians to resist the temptation of corruption and to 'multiply their talents' through faith and perseverance.

The visit took place under heavy security as the country continues to grapple with internal conflicts and economic hardship.

The Pope is scheduled to travel to Angola on Saturday to continue his diplomatic and spiritual mission.
