Pope Leo XIV urged Africa’s youth population on Friday to solve the continent’s economic and corruption problems rather than migrate elsewhere.

The pope, speaking to a crowd of university students and teachers from the Catholic University of Central Africa in Cameroon’s capital city of Yaounde, said that the continent “must be freed from the scourge of corruption” while urging the young to lead the charge, according to a transcript released by The Holy See. The remarks came as the Pope was embarking on an 11-day pastoral visit to the continent, which includes Angola, Algeria and Equatorial Ghana.

“In the face of the understandable tendency to migrate — which may lead one to believe that elsewhere a better future may be more easily found — I invite you, first and foremost, to respond with an ardent desire to serve your country and to apply the knowledge you are acquiring here to the benefit of your fellow citizens,” the pope said.

If its okay for African youth to improve their countries, why is there not the same call for Hispanic youth to do the same?

Does this mean he's finally listening to people smarter than him?

Finally, he is appealing to individuals and not governments.

And all the other mooslums that are leaving their shite hole countries! The pope should tell them to also stay and improve their own countries......

Wouldn't matter if he did, that message is incomprehensible to those low IQ savages that only want our milk and honey but are unwilling to assimilate or do what it takes to achieve it......
Ya know, the small things, like learn to speak English.

Trump must've scared him.

But like someone else has already said, this is sound advice across the board. Not just for Africa.

All the welfare that the developed world gives to Africa is just like the welfare that America's govt sends to our own ghettos. It takes away their incentive to study harder, get to work, get married, and become self sufficient. The welfare insures that they will always be in poverty.

Because people from Africa generally aren't Catholic whereas Hispanics are. He's cool with Catholics migrating elsewhere

How many billions of dollars were given to the Palestinians in Gaza????
They were given pipe for water lines, they used it to make missles! Some folks just don't possess the wherewithal to improve the world around them.
