‘Hands off Africa’ says Pope Francis on DR Congo visit


Kinshasa (AFP) – Pope Francis condemns what he terms “economic colonialism” in Africa, on a visit to mineral-rich DR Congo. “Hands off Africa… It is not a mine to be stripped nor a terrain to be plundered,” the pontiff says, to applause, in an address at the presidential palace in the country’s capital Kinshasa.
