Pope Leo XIV goes to Cameroon next month, the 4th time a Roman #Pontiff visits the central African country. This put #Cameroon as one of the African countries most visited by #Popes. Why? David Tonghou Ngong talks of Catholic #neocolonialism.... Read it here: africasacountry.com/2026/03/pilg...

Pilgrimage to power
From John Paul II to Benedict XVI, papal visits to Cameroon have often come when Paul Biya’s government faced political turmoil.

A semana em que a população de Moçambique enfrentou intempéries e cheias
Abrimos o recapitulativo desta semana em África com Moçambique com as intempéries que provocaram mortíferas cheias essencialmente no sul do país. De acordo com o Instituto Nacional de Gestão e Redução do Risco de Desastres, para além de mais de uma dezena de mortos só nestes últimos dias e mais de 700 mil pessoas afectadas, o balanço muito provisório da época chuvosa é de pelo menos 123 mortos desde Outubro.

Mozambique’s Niassa reserve was a conservation paradise. Then ISIS attacked.
The stunning nature reserve in Mozambique—known for its lions, elephants, and honeyguide birds, and home to some 70,000 people—is reeling in the aftermath of a brutal terror assault.
