Imagine if attacks of this kind were occurring with the same frequency in Europe or North America. Then there would be an outpouring of concern over an impending “Islamophobic” backlash. But when they take place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the establishment media doesn’t bother even to give us that.
“17 Killed in ADF Attack in Eastern Congo,” Tower Post, January 6, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Seventeen people were shot dead during a fresh attack by Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels in the forest of Idohu village in Irumu, Ituri province, Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
According to survivors and the Convention for the Respect of Human Rights (CRDH), an organization that monitors security in the region, the rebels attacked the area on Sunday night emerging from the nearby hill identified as Israel and started shooting at locals, killing 17. They also say that many were arrested and taken hostage.
The organization and survivors indicate that locals claim to have seen the bodies of seventeen people, including five pygmies killed by the rebels. Thirteen other people are still in the hands of the ADF.
Dieudonné Malangayi, a civil society coordinator in the area says that on Tuesday evening, a dozen of traumatized victims arrived in Idohu, 30 kilometers from Komanda after escaping from the rebels. Among the surviving victims included children. He said that five other victims who managed to escape arrived on Wednesday in Takumanda.
ADF rebels have continued to carry out surprise attacks against locals despite the presence of FARDC and UPDF in the area to combat its operations since November 30, 2021. On December 22, 2021, the rebels shot a truck that was transporting food between Makumo and Lukaya in Bangole. The truck was heading to Biakato in the territory of Mambasa (Ituri) from North Kivu. In the same month, the rebels attacked Mahu village, the Bangole group in Mambasa territory in Ituri province, and burnt seven tons of cocoa that was stored in Kivu agricultural trading company. The rebels also killed five people during the attack….
The ADF has for several years operated in the volatile North Kivu which borders other provinces including Ituri to the North and South Kivu to the South and has been a battleground for a number of rival armed ethnic groups since 1998. The province consists of three cities including; Goma, Butembo, and Beni as well as six territories–Beni, Lubero, Masisi, Rutshuru.
ADF has been blamed for the recent attacks in Kampala that leftover seven people dead. It is also being blamed for the Christmas day attack at InBox restaurant-bar, located on Boulevard Nyamwisi, Beni city, eastern DR Congo that left eight people dead and 20 injured.

DR Congo: Muslims storm village and open fire, murdering seventeen people
……………
Just horrifying–these *poor people*. This isn’t even the only story about Jihad terror in the Congo–yet few in the West know anything about about it.
James Lincoln says
More and more, Muslims remind me of characters like Johnny Ringo…
Dialogue from the movie “Tombstone” (1993):
WYATT
What makes a man like Ringo, Doc?
What makes him do the things he does?
DOC
A man like Ringo’s got a great
Empty hole right through the
Middle of him and no matter what
He does he can’t ever fill it. He
Can’t kill enough or steal enough
Or inflict enough pain to ever
Fill it. And it drives him mad.
Sick mad. Cold and dirty.
WYATT
So what does he want?
DOC
What does he want? He wants revenge.
WYATT
Revenge? For what?
Doc looks at him, a look of purest sadness in his sunken eyes.
DOC
Being born.

These attacks are happening in the Congo and many other locations around the world. And we are welcoming these muslim/islamic followers to America.
I know as soon as these islamic religious followers get to America they will change their beliefs and become freedom loving Americans and Christians. SURE just ask A.O.C. the bartender she knows.
