Pope Francis arrives in Mozambique on Wednesday at the start of a three-nation tour of Indian Ocean African countries hard hit by poverty, conflict and natural disaster. The pontiff flew out of Rome Wednesday morning, and was expected in Maputo around 6:30 pm (1630 GMT) where he is to be received by President Filipe Nyusi. Pope John Paul II was the last pontiff to visit Mozambique in 1988.
