Pope Francis meets with victims of violence in eastern Congo, at the Apostolic Nunciature in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, Wednesday, Feb. 1, 2023. Francis is in Congo and South Sudan for a six-day trip, hoping to bring comfort and encouragement to two countries that have been riven by poverty, conflicts and what he calls a "colonialist mentality" that has exploited Africa for centuries.
