Africa joins the world in mourning the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis, a spiritual leader whose profound compassion and unwavering commitment to the marginalized resonated deeply across the continent.

The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, H.E. Mahmoud Ali Youssouf, expressed the collective grief of Africa, honoring the Pope as a tireless advocate for peace, human dignity, and solidarity with the oppressed.

On behalf of the African Union, its Member States, and the people of Africa, he extended heartfelt condolences to the Holy See, the global Catholic community, and all those across the world who were inspired by Pope Francis’ extraordinary life of service, humility, and spiritual leadership.

According to the Chairperson, the African Union remembers him not only as a spiritual guide but as a moral force who reminded the world of its shared humanity.

In a time of division, he preached unity; in the face of greed, he championed the poor; and amid environmental destruction, he called for urgent action to protect the Earth.

Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis stood as a steadfast ally of Africa, amplifying the struggles of the poor, calling for an end to conflict, and urging global action against inequality. His visits to the continent were marked by messages of hope, reconciliation, and a challenge to leaders and nations to prioritize justice over power.

From his visit to Kenya, to his denunciation of exploitation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, his appeals for peace in South Sudan, and his solidarity with migrants and refugees, he embodied a pastoral love that transcended borders and faiths.

His legacy lives on in the hearts of millions of Africans and billions around the world.
