Pope will go to Africa despite security concerns
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis is going ahead with plans to visit the conflict-wracked Central African Republic, but his top bodyguard is doing an unusual, last-minute on-site survey to determine if security concerns require any changes to the itinerary, the Vatican said this week.
Francis is expected to visit the capital, Bangui, on Nov. 29-30 after first making stops in Kenya and Uganda. The Vatican said that in each country, Francis plans to use his open-sided popemobile for some transfers.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the pope wants to bring a message of peace and reconciliation to Central African Republic, where deadly violence between Christians and Muslims has flared recently.
