Jihadis Slaughter a Hundred Christians in the Congo, Including Bloodbath at Funeral

Tall Timbers

Imperfect but forgiven

Open Doors, a watchdog group that reports on anti-Christian persecution, said on Thursday that jihadis slaughtered over a hundred Christians in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) this week, including at least 70 who were murdered at a funeral service.

Christians gathered for the funeral of a church member in the village of Ntoyo were ambushed by a swarm of Islamist militants on Monday night. Some of the attackers had guns, but they did a great deal of their bloody work with machetes.

The attackers also kidnapped a least a hundred villagers, and burned 16 buildings to the ground.

“It’s horrible what I saw,” parish priest Abbe Paluku Nzalamingi said. “Women on mattresses in the living room … others in the corridor, still, others outside in the plot. Some bodies are on the road, in plots close to the centre of Ntoyo. They killed almost all the people gathered at the place of mourning.”

Congo Massacre: 100 Christians Slain in Islamic Terror Onslaught

In Congo’s blood-soaked villages, where Christians are slaughtered at funerals and in their fields, the world’s silence proves that Islam’s war on the Church never ended—it is only ignored

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has once again become the stage of unspeakable horror as Islamic terrorists wage open war on Christians. On September 8–9, the Islamic State-affiliated Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) butchered over 100 believers in two separate attacks—yet the Western press barely whispers of it.
