Paus Leo roept Kameroen op tot strijd tegen corruptie en vrede in conflictgebieden

On a 10-day apostolic tour across four African nations, Pope Leo XIV landed in Cameroon on Wednesday, delivering a forceful, unflinching address to the country’s long-ruling leadership that put urgent global and national issues front and center. Speaking directly to President Paul Biya – who has held presidential power since 1982 – Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute, and other top government officials shortly after arriving from Algeria, the Pope demanded urgent action to root out systemic corruption and resolve the decade-long separatist conflict plaguing Cameroon’s English-speaking regions.
