It is a rainy day in Algiers, but the city is lined with thousands of Vatican flags, welcoming a pope here for the first time in history. Pope Leo began his trip to Africa in Algeria, a predominantly Muslim country where Catholics are a tiny minority. “I am here among you as a pilgrim of peace... We are brothers and sisters, for we have the same Father in heaven,” he said. Video: IG @mirihassins

Often called “Africa in miniature,” Cameroon is culturally and religiously diverse: Catholics live alongside Protestants, Pentecostals, Muslims, and followers of traditional religions, making dialogue and a clear Catholic identity essential.
