Pope Leo XIV condemned the "colonisation" of Africa's mineral resources and the "lust for power" on Tuesday as he arrived in Equatorial Guinea, a country ruled by the continent's longest-serving president who has been accused of widespread corruption.
The pontiff arrived in the capital Malabo, for the fourth and final stop of his African tour, where crowds waited at the airport and lined the road to welcome the first pontiff to visit their country since Pope John Paul II in 1982.
