Pope Francis meets with representatives of charities, 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.
