Pope Leo XIV has arrived in the central African nation of Cameroon on the second leg of his Africa tour. He's delivered a masterclass on wielding power legitimately to President Paul Biya, who at 93 is the world's oldest leader. The Vatican had said fighting corruption in the mineral-rich central African country would be one of the themes of Leo’s visit, and the American pope didn’t hold back in addressing Biya and government authorities in his arrival address at the presidential palace, saying the “chains of corruption” must be broken. Biya’s grip on power was extended for an eighth term in a widely disputed election last year.
