Democratic Republic of the Congo: Muslims hack 36 civilians to death with machetes

Jan 31, 2020 12:00 pm By Robert Spencer

The world yawns. No “Islamophobia” has been perpetrated, so there is nothing to see here.

“More than 30 civilians killed in attacks in eastern DR Congo,” AFP, January 30, 2020 (thanks to Robert):

Thirty-six people have been killed in a suspected militia attack in the eastern DR Congo region of Beni, where hundreds have died in violence since November, a local official said Wednesday.

Congolese troops have been carrying out a military operation on an armed group in the east of the country — long plagued by various militias — and militiamen have responded with a series of massacres against civilians.

“They were all hacked to death. This brings (the toll) to 36 bodies,” local Beni governor Donat Kibwana told AFP, updating casualties from Tuesday’s attack….

Two people with skull fractures caused by machetes have been admitted to the hospital in Oicha for surgery, an AFP reporter there said.

The main attack took place late Tuesday in Manzingi, a village 20 kilometres (12 miles) northwest from Oicha, while a pastor was also killed in nearby Eringeti.

According to a toll compiled by a civil society organisation, the Kivu Security Tracker (KST), 265 people have now been killed in the Beni region since the army began its crackdown on the armed group, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), on October 30.

The massacres seem to be a tactic by the ADF to frighten the population into silence, local commentators say.

The group has also disrupted operations to curb an outbreak of Ebola in North Kivu province….

The ADF, blamed for the deaths of more than a thousand civilians in Beni since October 2014, began as an Islamist-rooted rebel group in Uganda that opposed Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni.

It fell back into eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in 1995 during the Congo Wars and appears to have halted raids inside Uganda. Its recruits today are people of various nationalities.

UN experts estimated the ADF in 2018 to number around 450 fighters.

A report to the UN Security Council last week said the ADF seemed to follow an extreme Islamist ideology, but there is no information on whether the group had links with international jihadist groups….

      “The Management of Savagery” is the title of Islamic State’s handbook.

    “A report to the UN Security Council … said the ADF seemed to follow an extreme Islamist ideology”.

    AFP probably has to comply with instructions that limit what can be said. Some dissection is needed.

    So ADF “seemed” to follow an ideology, did it? This is tiptoeing round the issue.
    “An extreme Islamist ideology”?
    One of many?
    This “extreme Islamist ideology”, is it anything resembling Islam?
    Or does the reporter have to create a wide space away from even such a suggestion?

    It is curious, but the ADF’s actions neatly fit with instructions in the Koran, but AFP reporters are probably instructed never to make mention of that.

    We readers have to learn to translate.

    The devil’s children carrying out the devil’s work. satan has a ‘short time’ and he is using it to the full in that he is inspiring his followers to slaughter as many innocent people as they are able. Each day brings yet another report…or more…detailing just how hard his “children” are working to rid the earth of any who refuse to worship satan’s beast.

    Muslims never reached Congo Kinshasa until UN troops from Pakistan opened Madrasas in Eastern Congo. UN is the instrument of the International Islamic Conference supported by the worldwide Leftists.

    I believe that Joan Terrell-Paige said that these were actually Christian brutes who had threatened, intimidated and harassed the local Muslims. So it is not really an atrocity.
