Kenyatta meets Pope Francis: Kenya's President Uhuru
Kenyatta, who is a Catholic, has met Pope Francis on his arrival at the airport
in the capital, Nairobi. The Pope is beginning the first leg of his first tour
of Africa.

Pope Francis flew out of
Rome on Wednesday, bound for Kenya on the first leg of a landmark trip to
Africa that is fraught with security risks. 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).
