The governments of the African states where jihad groups are active all seem either powerless to stop the jihadis or not interested in doing so. The international media, meanwhile, yawns and turns away, as the idea of Muslim-on-non-Muslim violence doesn’t fit their preferred narrative, in which Muslims always feature as victims.
“Islamist militia kill 10 in eastern DRC,” AP, July 5, 2021:
Suspected members of a feared Islamist militia killed 10 people in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo city of Beni overnight, the army said Thursday, prompting an anti-government protest with youths parading a victim’s body in the streets.
The attack “by ADF enemies” took place in Beni’s southeastern Rwangoma district, lieutenant Anthony Mualushayi told AFP, referring to the Allied Democratic Forces. “We lost 10 civilians,” he added.
An AFP correspondent saw 10 bodies in the morgue of Beni’s general hospital.
Local residents were shocked by the first attack in the Rwangoma district in December 2019.
Angry youths marched on the town hall, carrying a victim’s body and shouting slogans questioning the point of a “state of siege” imposed on May 6 with the aim of quelling ADF violence in North Kivu province as well as Ituri province to the north.
“We thought it was the light at the end of the tunnel, this state of siege,” Rwangoma resident Samuel Kalume told AFP.
“But after 18 months without an attack by the ADF in our neighbourhood, we’re back at square one. It’s very discouraging.”
The protesters shouted “State of siege = zero” and “FARDC = ADF”. FARDC is the name of DRC’s armed forces….

Democratic Republic of Congo: Muslims murder 10 people, prompting anti-government protest
…………..
Congo barely has a government. It will not be able to protect its people from Jihad terror.

Murder of non-islamic people alway follows the invasion of islam into a country. What a shame that our political leaders around the world are unwilling to stand up against the globalist and protect the citizens they represent. If you allow the enemy to enter home they will destroy you from within. ISLAM is the ENEMY of freedom!
