At Least 130 Christians Killed in Three Weeks of Violence Across Ituri, D. R. Congo

Barnabas Aid, August 11, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Islamic State terrorists have claimed the killing of at least 130 Christians in three weeks of violence across Ituri Province, north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

In the most recent and deadliest incident on Sunday, August 9, fighters from Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) killed 32 Christians and captured 24 in a coordinated assault on three neighboring villages in Mambasa Territory.

In what Islamic State (IS – also known as ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) propaganda described as “a bloody attack,” the terrorists also burned down more than 60 homes and shops.

In another major incident on July 31, ISCAP fighters killed 17 Christians and captured two others from the village on Monguiko.

This followed the slaughter of 35 Christians in separate attacks on July 20 and 24, including the beheading of at least 25.

Among several other attacks, on August 6 the terrorists targeted a group of people on a river boat near the town Biondo, killing “five Christian combatants” with machine guns and sinking the boat.

IS propaganda uses the term “combatants” to describe Christians and Jews who have not either converted to Islam or paid jizya tax as a sign of their subservience to Islamic rule….
