Days after being criticised on social media by US President Donald Trump, Pope Leo continues his four-nation tour of Africa. He is traveling to Douala, the country’s main port city, where he is set to celebrate Mass and visit a hospital. The Vatican expects around 600,000 people to attend the liturgy. On Thursday, the Pope spoke out against war during a visit to the largest city in Cameroon’s anglophone regions, where a nearly decade-long conflict has claimed thousands of lives.
