Pope Leo is the first Pope to arrive in Algeria, Africa's largest country.

Catholics are a tiny minority among the largely Muslim population, but Algeria is the birthplace of the Order of St.

Augustine to which Pope Leo belongs.

The trip however comes amid escalating tensions with the White House over the war in Iran, criticised by Pope Leo.

And on Sunday night, President Trump attacked the Pope.

And while still on an aircraft landing in Algeria, Pope Leo responded.

81-year-old President Yoweri Museveni is one of Africa's longest-serving leaders and has won a seventh election.

But the polls have been roundly condemned by rights groups amid an internet blackout and several election observers banned from monitoring the vote.

Museveni's main challenger, 43-year-old Bobby Wine, said the results were fake.

Police raided the former pop singer's home on Friday night, but Wine escaped to a safe location, he said, in a video posted on social media.

Dozens of supporters from his National Unity Platform Party were killed by police, he said, including 10 who were monitoring the results.

Police, however, said seven were killed and accused them of attacking a police station.
