April 16 (UPI) -- Pope Leo XIV spent his second day in Cameroon in the city of Bamenda, the center of separatist fighting, calling for peace and criticizing the "masters of war."
The pope also criticized those who manipulated "the very name of God" for their own gain. He was touring the area in the north of Cameroon that's beset by violence as Anglophone separatists battle the French-speaking government.
The separatists paused the fighting for the pope's three-day visit.
Leo's 11-day tour started in Algeria. After Cameroon, he will travel to Angola and Equatorial Guinea.
