Pope Francis has told worshipers in a mosque in the Central African Republic that "Christians and Muslims are brothers and sisters".
He was speaking to Muslims who had sought shelter in the capital Bangui after nearly three years of violence between Christians and Muslims.
The mosque visit was seen as perhaps the most difficult part of his Africa tour, a BBC correspondent says
Pope Francis then held the final Mass of his Africa trip in Bangui.
He was speaking in Latin, which was then translated into the local Sango language.
More than 100,000 Muslims left the capital as a result of the fighting but 15,000 are left in an area called PK5, according to the campaign group Human Rights Watch.
May God bless the pope. He is a good representative of Jesus Christ - Topmost Tree Unique Comment
That's right but I doubt if the Muslims agreed with him.
