The Cardinals who have locked themselves in the Sistine Chapel have voted for the first time. Black smoke rose towards the sky – they have, in other words, not succeeded in agreeing on a successor to Pope Francis.
WorldPope Francis has been laid to rest. At the ceremony in the Vatican, large parts of the world's elite were present – and hundreds of thousands of mourners from all corners of the world. He was a man of the people, who wanted everyone's well-being and fought for peace, says Nigerian Sunny Oritsegbubemi Okuku.
WorldRome stands still and the world's eyes are fixed on the Vatican. Today, Pope Francis is being buried. In attendance are royalty, tens of thousands of mourners – and a long list of the world's most powerful leaders. However, for some, the pomp leaves a bitter aftertaste.
