Pope Leo begins the third leg of his 11-day tour of Africa. 
Thousands have shown up to celebrate the pontiff's first ever trip to the continent. 
This morning, the Pope celebrated mass in Yaund Cameroon before departing for Angola. 
Yesterday, he held his biggest event, an open air mass for about 120,000 people in Cameroon where he condemned foreigners who exploit Africa. 
CBS's Chris Livce has been traveling with the Pope. 
>> Good morning. Well, on his first papal trip to Africa, now marked by an open clash with President Trump, the first American pope has delivered pointed remarks. 
Now, in what's widely seen as a comment on the Trump administration, the pontiff warned that the world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. 
Woe to those who manipulate religion in the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain. 
Their simmering differences boiled over earlier this week when President Trump blasted the Pope over his opposition to America's war in Iran. 
The pontiff responding just hours later from the papal plane, stating, "I have no fear of the Trump administration." 
Here in Cameroon, his visit has left locals overjoyed, praying he'll bring peace amid political violence, hunger, and a separatist conflict that's left thousands dead and more than half a million displaced. 
Speaking to them at a mass, Pope Leo blamed quote the masters of war who spend billions on killing and devastation. 
Next on the Pope's trip are the countries of Angola and Equatorial Guinea, both known for vast oil wealth, where he's expected to address the theme of inequality. 
Now, when it comes to the feud between the Pope and the president, Trump took to Truth Social last night, posting a letter from the evangelical leader Franklin Graham. 
It was written early in the war with Iran and he told the president he was doing the right thing.
