Pope Francis-OnoBello (1)

Pope Francis’ African tour ended in Central African Republic today. The pope ventured into what is being labeled as one of Africa’s most dangerous territories as he visited a mosque in PK5, a district where most Muslims who fed the country’s Christian dominated capital now stay.

The Pope called on the militias to drop their arms while declaring that Christians and Muslims are brothers.

“Together, we must say no to hatred, to revenge and to violence, particularly that violence which is perpetrated in the name of a religion or of God himself. God is peace. Salaam,” he said.

He later celebrated Mass in the national stadium before flying back to Rome.
