‘Pope Francis Arrives In Iraq for Historic Visit’

Pope Francis has landed in Iraq, marking the first papal visit to the country in history.

Francis’ aim is to urge the country’s Christians to help rebuild the country after years of war and persecution.

A red carpet was rolled out for his arrival, with Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi on hand to greet him.

The Pontiff’s motorcade later drove him through the city to meet President Barham Salih Qassim.

Iraqi officials spent days finishing preparations for the Pope’s first visit amid security concerns.
