00:01Excitement is building in Angola as people prepare to welcome Pope Leo XIV to the capital, Luanda.
00:07The visit is part of an 11-day tour across four African nations.
00:11Around 44% of Angolans identify as Catholic and many see the visit as a rare privilege.
00:18Leo will become only the third pontiff to visit Angola.
00:24His visit here to our country is interesting, very interesting, knowing that he is the third, if I'm not mistaken,
00:31or the fourth time that a Pope has come to visit our country.
00:35It means that our country is one of the blessed countries, bringing grace and glory, and may they come more
00:42and visit more.
00:45Pope Leo's visit comes in the wake of catastrophic floods in Angola.
00:49Dozens have been killed following heavy rains in Luanda and other areas of the country.
01:03The coming of the Pope will be something glorious, something for religion and for churches that represent the presence of
01:10the Catholic Church.
01:10We are hopeful for the blessings he brings, given the situation we are facing here.
01:16In Angola, many know about the flooding, and we believe his prayers may help us.
01:22His visit here could be beneficial. He's welcome, very welcome here.
01:34Before arriving in Luanda, Leo will wrap up his three day visit to Cameroon.
01:40He's set to hold an open air mass at Yaounde Airport before continuing his tour.
