Pope Francis Arrives in Angola, Calls for Unity Amidst War-Torn History In the latest stop on his Africa tour, Pope Francis has arrived in Angola, a country still grappling with the scars of a brutal civil war that ravaged the nation from 1975 to 2002. The Pope's visit comes at a pivotal moment, as Angola seeks to rebuild and move forward from its troubled past. In a significant speech, Francis is urging Angolans to put aside the divisions created by decades of conflict, calling for a new era of unity and cooperation. With his message of peace and reconciliation, the Pope aims to inspire a nation in search of healing and progress.


On the third leg of his Africa tour, Leo urges Angola to move beyond "divisions" created by its war-scarred past.
