Pope Leo, in Cameroon, decries world ruled by ‘tyrants’ after Trump attacks

-

BAMENDA, Cameroon, ‌April 16 (Reuters) - Pope ​Leo blasted leaders who spend ⁠billions on wars and said the world was "being ​ravaged by a handful ‌of tyrants", in unusually forceful remarks in Cameroon on Thursday ⁠after U.S. ⁠President Donald Trump attacked him again on social media.

Leo, the first U.S. ‌pope, also decried leaders who ⁠used religious ‌language to justify ​wars and urged a "decisive change of course" in ‌a meeting in ​the ⁠biggest city in Cameroon's English-speaking ‌regions, ⁠where a simmering conflict going back nearly a decade ​has left ‌thousands dead.
