Summary
70 decapitated bodies were found in a Protestant church in Kasanga, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), reportedly the work of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamist group linked to ISIS.
The victims were believed to have been taken hostage before being executed.
Authorities are investigating, and international Christian organizations have condemned the attack.
The DRC has faced decades of conflict, with violence surging due to armed groups like ADF and M23.
Inexcusable “journalism”.
Anybody read that fucking thing or just giving them another pass for being US media and a lie headline?
The earliest source I could find is this one: https://fr.apanews.net/news/rdc-plus-de-70-civils-retrouves-decapites-dans-une-eglise/
Seems to be a local news agency. There are some other outlets corroborating the story, though I can’t find any evidence (e.g. images/witness accounts) other than these stories.
This Newsweek article is a bit shit because it’s using quotes from right-wing internet trolls about this, which is quite poor when it comes to quality standards. But I’m not so sure the premise of the article is a lie, it could very well have happened, and I don’t have evidence to the contrary.
Are you saying this didn’t happen?
Are you saying that article is a source of what happened?
How come they can’t even link this? It’s their main source.
