Equatorial Guinea Pope Visit

Pope Leo XIV has denounced the “colonization” of minerals and the “lust for power” in Equatorial Guinea. He arrived on Tuesday at the end of his four-nation African trip. It's a country whose repressive leader has been in office since 1979. Adoring crowds in the largely Catholic country lined the road from the airport into Malabo, cheering the first pope to visit since St. John Paul II in 1982. The former Spanish colony on Africa’s western coast is run by Africa’s longest-serving president, Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. He has been accused of widespread corruption and authoritarianism.
