Pope to visit Cameroon, urging peace in conflict zone
Pope Leo XIV is visiting Cameroon as part of an African tour, where he plans to meet President Paul Biya. His visit includes a stop at a long-standing conflict zone, where separatists and military forces clash.
Pope Leo XIV is to arrive in Cameroon on Wednesday, the second stage of an African tour shadowed by insults from US President Donald Trump and suicide attacks in Algeria on his first day. The pontiff is to meet Cameroonian President Paul Biya at the start of his four-day visit to the mainly French-speaking country, before heading to a conflict zone where English-speaking separatists have been fighting the army for nearly a decade.
