“At Least 21 Christians Killed by Islamists in Northern Mozambique,” Barnabas Fund, November 9, 2022:
At least 21 Christians have been killed by Islamist extremists in violent attacks throughout October in northern Mozambique.
Jihadists set fire to a church building and several houses in the Chiure district of Cabo Delgado Province on October 26, killing one person.
The Islamists also announced the killing of 20 Christians and the displacement of hundreds more in Cabo Delgado between October 3 and 20.
The attacks were carried out by an Islamic State (IS)-affiliated organisation Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jama, known locally as Al Shabaab (not the Somali-based group of the same name). They were announced in al-Naba, the weekly magazine of IS (also known as ISIS, ISIL, Daesh).
In addition to church building in Chiure, the Islamists said that other church property in Cabo Delgado had been destroyed, though no details were given.
A Muslim leader and his wife were also beheaded by the jihadi group, who since 2017 have subjected both the Christian and Muslim communities of northern Mozambique to a campaign of terror.
At least eight believers were killed in lslamist violence across Cabo Delgado and neighbouring Nampula Province in September 2022.
The attacks were carried out by an Islamic State (IS)-affiliated organization Ahlu Sunnah Wa-Jama, known locally as Al Shabaab (not the Somali-based group of the same name). They were announced in al-Naba, the weekly magazine of IS (also known as ISIS, ISIL, Daesh).

” Islamist extremists ” a.k.a. rabid mozlums, snakes doing satan’s desires.
mozlums in this country of mozambique have seen and heard about what mozlums in nigeria are doing and feel the need to catch up.
as the nigerian mozlums will, so too these mozlums …they will reap as they are sowing.

What I find puzzling is the underreporting of these atrocities in the local press of countries like Mozambique, Congo, and others. One would suspect that the governments don’t want their citizens to know how weak they are in certain parts of the country.
