Pope Leo XIV Embarks on Extensive Trip to Africa
The visit is widely seen as an early signal of the pontiff's key priorities, with Leo expected to address an array of pressing issues including peace, migration, environmental protection, youth, and family life.
The tour opens in Algeria, where the pope will spend two days — making history as the first pontiff ever to set foot in the country. His itinerary there includes meetings with local authorities and members of an Augustinian community, as well as a visit to a memorial honoring the 1954–1962 Algerian war of independence.
The sweeping itinerary marks the most wide-ranging overseas trip of his papacy to date.
