NAIROBI (Reuters) - Pope Francis flew into Kenya on Wednesday at the start of an African tour during which he will address the continent's fast-growing Catholic congregation and seek to heal divisions between Christians and Muslims. A Reuters witness said his plane touched down in the East African nation. After Kenya, the pope travels to Uganda and then the Central African Republic, the scene of sectarian conflict.
