Pope Francis is currently aboard a plane from
Rome to Africa.
The plane took off from Fiumicino Airport at
7.45am local time and will arrive at Jomo
Kenyatta International Airport, Kenya at 5pm.
Among his entourage are 70 journalists.
The pope’s November 25-30 trip will bring him to
Kenya, Uganda and Central African Republic.
The 78-year-old will use his 11th overseas trip
since taking office in 2013 to deliver a total of 19
speeches on peace, social justice, environmental
protection and interfaith dialogue in Kenya,
Uganda and the Central African Republic (CAR).
Bishop of Lira diocese, Uganda, Joseph Franzeli
says the Holy Father brings his message of
peace, reconciliation and unity which is timely
given the political season that has Ugandans
divided. He arrives in the country on Friday.
