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.
A Funeral Turned Into a Slaughterhouse
In the village of Ntoyo, North Kivu province, Christians gathered at night to mourn a loved one. What followed was a scene out of hell. Armed ADF militants stormed the vigil and massacred 70 worshippers, most hacked to death with machetes in the middle of the service.
“They arrived and started shooting. At the funeral site, they coldly murdered 26 Christians. Those who tried to flee were shot or hacked to death,” recounted Reverend Mbula Samaki, who barely escaped with his life.
Father Paluku Nzalamingi, after surveying the bloodstained site, described the carnage: “They killed almost everyone present at the funeral. Women in the corridor, others outside… in most cases, they were shot at close range. There are bodies along the road.”
The massacre left over 100 kidnapped, homes and property burned, and a community paralyzed by terror.
What unfolded in Ntoyo is not an isolated nightmare — it mirrors the same relentless war Christians face in Nigeria, Pakistan, and the Middle East, where funerals, churches, and homes have become recurring targets of jihad. The pattern is unmistakable: wherever Islam advances, Christians are slaughtered.
Farmers Targeted the Next Day
The very next day in Potodu, the ADF struck again—this time targeting Christian farmers. At least 30 were murdered, though pastors on the ground say the true toll is higher, as many remain missing.
“It is a night of sadness and desolation for Christians,” said a CECA church pastor in Oicha.
These were not soldiers. These were men and women who tilled the soil to feed their families—slaughtered for one reason alone: their faith in Christ.
Christians Fleeing, Faith Under Siege
As survivors streamed into nearby towns, churches struggled to care for the wounded and displaced. Reverend Alili of the Njiapanda Baptist Church said, “Christians are disoriented. They don’t dare to stay and sleep in the church because they are afraid of being attacked and massacred like the victims of the funeral wake.”
This cycle is tragically familiar. Christians in eastern Congo live under perpetual siege, their faith tested daily by machete and bullet.
