  1. Pope in plea against corruption

    The Pope is making an impassioned plea against corruption in society:

    Corruption is something which eats inside, it's easy. And then we end up in a poor way. We eat so much sugar that we either end up being diabetic or our country ends up being diabetic.

    Each time - when we accept a bribe - and we put it in our pockets, we destroy our hearts - we destroy our personalities and we destroy our country. Please don't develop that taste for that sugar that is corruption.

    Corrupt people don't live in peace.

  2. Crowd hold hands

    Here are more pictures from the crowd after the Pope asked everyone to hold hands:

  4. Pope appeals against triablism

    If you don't dialogue with each other, then you're going to have a division like a worm that growns in society. Yesterday was pronouced as a day of prayer and reconciliation. I want to invite you all - that we hold each other's hands - let's hold hands together let's stand up as a sign against bad tribalism - we are all a nation. We are all a nation!

  5. Pope on dangers of life without faith

    The Pope is talking to his young audience about what he sees are the difficult choices we have to make:

    Why is there that desire to destroy? The spirit of evil takes us to destruction And the spirit of Evil takes us to a lack of unity. It takes us to tribalism, corruption and drugs How do we make it such that fanatical idealism doesn't lead us to be robbed of a brother or a sister?

  6. Pope addresses faith issues

    Pope Francis is now talking to the crowd of young people at Nairobi's Kasarani stadium.

    He is using the speech to talk about the "journey of faith".

  9. Poverty a result of 'new forms of colonialism'

    Pope Francis has been talking about what causes the poverty that he could see in the Nairobi's poor Kangemi area.

    He talked about the lack of access to basic services and bad sanitary conditions:

    These realities which I have just mentioned are not a random combination of unrelated problems. They are a consequence of new forms of colonialism which would make African countries 'parts of a machine, cogs on a gigantic wheel'

  11. Pope mentions attempts to take land in poor areas

    Pope Francis has criticised private developers who appear to have no regard for the lives of the people who live in poor areas.

    This becomes even worse when we see the unjust distribution of land which leads in many cases entire families having to pay excessive and unfair rents for utterly unfit housing.

    I am also aware of the serious problem posed by faceless “private developers” who hoard areas of land and even attempt to appropriate the playgrounds of your children’s schools.

  12. Pope Francis critical of rich minority

    Pope Francis is speaking to an audience in the poor Kangemi area of Nairobi.

    And he hit out at the system that means that many people have to live in poverty.

    These are wounds inflicted by minorities who cling to power and wealth, who selfishly squander while a growing majority is forced to flee to abandoned, filthy and run-down peripheries.
