Pope Francis criticized 'tyrants' ravaging the planet during his visit to Cameroon, promoting peace and interfaith dialogue in a region affected by separatist conflict. He praised local efforts to end the violence and called for a change of course away from conflict and exploitation.
Pope Francis visited Bamenda, Cameroon, where he preached a message of peace amidst a separatist conflict. He met with local leaders, including a traditional chief, a Presbyterian moderator, an imam, and a Catholic nun, to promote interfaith dialogue. The Pope criticized those who manipulate religion for their own gain and called for a 'decisive change of course' away from conflict. The conflict in Cameroon's Anglophone regions has killed over 6,000 people and displaced 600,000 others since 2017. Francis praised the local peace movement and encouraged the crowd, saying 'Bamenda, today you are the city on the hill, resplendent in the eyes of all!' He also condemned the 'moral, social and political corruption' that afflicts Cameroon.
