Pope Francis landed in the Democratic Republic of Congo Tuesday, hailing his "beautiful trip" to Africa as he comes bearing a message of peace to the conflict-torn nation and its troubled neighbour South Sudan.
"We've been waiting for a year, it's a beautiful trip," the 86-year-old pontiff told journalists travelling with him.
