Democratic Republic of Congo: Muslims murder at least 53 Christians in two jihad attacks on the same day Robert Spencer
“More Than 50 D. R. Congo Christians Killed in Single Day of Violence,” Barnabas Aid, January 16, 2025:
At least 53 Christians were killed on January 15 in two Islamist attacks in Lubero, North Kivu, north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
The Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP, also known as the Allied Democratic Forces) announced the killings in two social media posts, according to the Terrorism Research and Analysis Consortium (TRAC).
One of the two posts declared, “By the grace of God Almighty, the soldiers of the Caliphate attacked the village of Makoko in the Lubero region and killed 41 Christians [who] were stabbed with knives.”
The other post confirmed killing of 12 others in the village of Masakuki.
The terrorist group also abducted 16 Christians, as well as burning houses and motorcycles.
Attacks of this type have been carried out consistently by ISCAP since the group first affiliated to Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) in 2017. However, the scale and frequency of the attacks has increased in the past few weeks.
Relentless Targeting of Christians
Including the January 15 attacks, at least 128 have been slaughtered in North Kivu and the neighboring province of Ituri since Christmas Day 2024….
