Pope Leo XIV is expected in the Algerian city of Annaba on Tuesday, where he will walk in the footsteps of influential Christian theologian Saint Augustine on day two of a historic trip to the north African country.
The American pontiff on Monday became the first pope ever to visit Algeria, the first stop on a tour of four African nations, although the opening day of his trip was almost overshadowed by harsh criticism from US President Donald Trump.
