Pope Leo visits Equatorial Guinea

During his visit to the port city of Bata, Pope Leo addressed a crowd of approximately 100,000 worshippers, highlighting the plight of political prisoners.

His stop took on added significance following revelations that Equatorial Guinea received millions from the Trump administration to house deported migrants.

The Pope warned that humanity's future is 'tragically compromised' by the exploitation of natural resources and the neglect of the poor.

This visit marks the first time a pontiff has delivered such a direct critique of the Central African nation's human rights record.
