Pope Leo Challenges Resource Exploitation in Africa

Pope Leo sharply criticized the exploitation of natural resources in Africa, targeting leaders who promise wealth but fail to deliver, resulting in widespread suffering and death. Speaking in Angola on his African tour, he urged citizens to strive for a society free from the 'slavery imposed by the elite.'

Refuting speculations of targeting any specific individual, Leo distanced himself from comments seemingly aimed at President Trump. Instead, he condemned foreign influence on Angola's resources, which often benefits multinational corporations over local communities.

Despite facing poverty, Angola holds a strong Catholic presence, providing a significant platform for Leo's message. His speeches have resonated across Africa, drawing vast crowds eager to engage with his urgent call for social and economic justice.
