Pope Leo has arrived in Equatorial Guinea, the fourth and final stop on his African tour, in the tiny authoritarian nation ruled by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo since 1979. The oil-rich former Spanish colony, home to nearly 2 million people, sees oil account for nearly half its GDP and over 90% of exports, despite widespread poverty claims. The pope's itinerary includes planned visits to a prison, a stadium, and a tribute site, highlighting local anticipation after 44 years without a papal visit.
