Aia ka mākaʻikaʻi, ke kūlanakauhale mōʻaukala o Bagamoyo 75 mau mile mai Dar es Salaam, ke kapikala nui o Tanzania.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Pope Paul VI i loko o ka leka kahu hānai ʻo ke kūpaʻa kahi kumu no ka hoʻomau hoʻomau i ʻApelika ma o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana ua hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia ka ʻāina i loaʻa nā kumu no ka ʻohana, ka ʻuhane a me ka nohona kanaka.
He waiwai ko ka ʻāina e hoʻomohala i ka hoʻokae, ka lāhui, nā hakakā haipule, ke kaua a me ka hakakā. I kēia leka, ua kūkākūkā ka Pope me ka hoʻomau ʻana i ka ulu ʻana, ka mahalo i nā kuleana kanaka, ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka naʻaupō, ka ʻilihune a me nā maʻi.
