Pope Leo XIV, who is in Cameroon as part of his Apostolic journey to Africa, is expected today in Bamenda, a town in the country's English-speaking Northwest region, still recovering from years of separatist conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and displaced at least 400 000 people.

On Wednesday, during a meeting with President Paul Biya and members of civil society, the pontiff delivered a firm message on leadership, warning that authority loses its meaning when corrupted, and urging that the chains of corruption must be broken for justice and peace to prevail.

On his part, President Biya acknowledged the country's challenges, citing terrorism, a protracted separatist crisis, and economic hardship, while maintaining that his government remains committed to unity, stability, and national development.
