In a speech delivered in Cameroon, Pope Leo condemned leaders who manipulate the name of God for their own gain, emphasizing that the world is devastated by a handful of tyrants. His statements come in the context of a dispute with American President Donald Trump, who publicly attacked the pope's positions regarding U.S. and Israeli military interventions in Iran. The pope expressed concern over Trump's threats and criticized the spending of billions of dollars on wars, while resources for education and reconstruction are lacking. Speaking about the insurgency in Cameroon, he highlighted the devastating impact of conflicts on local communities. His tour in Africa, which includes stops in 11 cities, reflects the importance of Catholicism on the continent, where over 288 million Catholics live.
