Bishop Barthélemy Yaouda Hourgo of Yagoua visited Barcelona to participate in a religious event at the Sagrada Família, where he addressed the critical situation facing Cameroon.

The bishop was highly critical of Donald Trump, stating that the cuts to humanitarian aid previously funded by the USA are a 'crime.' He compared the impact of these policies on the poor and sick to the violence of the extremist group Boko Haram.

"What Trump is doing is a crime. It is no different from people who slit throats. Trump is like Boko Haram."
