| Title | Pope in Equatorial Guinea: Moral authority role risks being 'whitewashed & used to legitimise power' | Source | France 24 - World News |
| Description | François Picard is pleased to welcome Tutu Alicante, international human rights lawyer.and anti-corruption activist. According to Mr. Alicante, the Pope's visit to Equatorial Guinea presents a paradox: it offers a rare opportunity to spotlight injustice, yet risks being appropriated by the regime for its own validation.
