Pope Francis left Nairobi for Entebbe Uganda late Friday afternoon at the conclusion of his three-day visit to Kenya during which he not only condoled with the poor but spoke up against corruption, human-wildlife conflicts and errant religious leaders.

His visit and his message of hope, humility, servant leadership and the place of youth in society came at a time when the country is at a crossroads battling unemployment and self-centered leadership from a host of elected officials as well as rampant corruption.
