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.

    Nobody will hear about this because we live inside a racist imperial bubble.

    Imagine if this happened to people with pale skin.

      Conservatives might still pick it up and run with the “Christian” part while completely ignoring the racial aspect. They love being able to play the persecution card in the news.
