The Pope is on an 11 day trip around 4 African countries - Algeria, Cameroon, Angola and Equatorial Guinea. This isn鈥檛 the only reason why the Pope is in the news though, there鈥檚 also been some drama with President Trump, where they clashed over the war in Iran.

A major message from the Pope on this tour (and generally) is 鈥減eace鈥�. He鈥檚 said 鈥渢he world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants.鈥� Some of the countries the Catholic leader is travelling to are dealing with active conflicts.

His visit also shows the increasing importance of Africa to Catholicism - more than a fifth of the world's Catholics live on the continent.

Makuochi Okafor, takes us through it all, from Nigeria. Plus we hear from two young Catholics in Cameroon about their feelings about the Pope鈥檚 visit.
