Up to 60 Christians were massacred by Islamists in the province of Ituri, north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), on April 1.
A source affiliated to Islamic State (IS – also known as ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) reported that its fighters “targeted Christians” after they “rejected the generous offer made to them by Islamic State, based on the just rulings of Islam.”
This “generous offer” was likely a demand for members of the Christian community of Bafwakoa, a village in the territory of Mambasa, to convert to Islam or accept dhimmi status as subjugated, supposedly protected, people.
One of several dozen homes burned down by Islamic State fighters as up to 60 Christians were massacred in the village of Bafwakoa. The source also reported that thousands had been displaced by the attack.
Christian Alimasi, a local official, said that some of the victims had been killed with machetes and that two people had been abducted.
Additionally, 44 houses in the village were burned.
More Than 900 Killed in 15 Months of Violence
Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) has targeted Christians across north-eastern DRC since pledging allegiance to IS in 2017.
In a July 2025 statement, ISCAP declared, “Let the Christians of Africa and their Crusader armies know that there is no security for you except by Islam or jizya.”
In classical Islam, jizya is a tax paid by non-Muslim “People of the Book” – that is, Jews and Christians – as a sign of their subjugation to their Muslim rulers.
ISCAP has claimed the killing of at least 910 Christians in north-eastern DRC since this campaign of violence escalated in December 2024.
Seventeen Christians were killed and around 100 abducted in a March 13 attack on the village of Mushasha, also in Ituri.

Exactly! Instead of trying to tell Trump how to protect America perhaps the Pope should be headed to the Congo. Of course he won’t, he is a coward and could care less about the death of those people. Roman Catholic Cult!
Martyrs for The Cross Of Christ.
RIP
Aloha Snackbar!
Even if The Pope was given a Potempkin Village, fake type visit, I would respect him more, if he put his own neck on the line. But he won’t, because he doesn’t believe he has to. Don’t want to get that oily dust of the local livestock on his clean silken robes and stuff.
But...but...I was told that Islam is the religion of peace. Did they lie?
Another Chicago Bum, Papa.
Along with Axelrod
And Obammy aka Barry Sotero.
These three stooges may be
Big News soon.
I know I sound like a schoolkid but I need encouragement and advice.
I absolutely despise the actions and words of Pope Leo XIV in his attacks on Trump, both before he was elected Pope and now. I am enraged.
Should I totally reject everyone Catholic and go all out against them as I am against all “Communists, Socialists, Dems and the judges who help them” (as I pray to have them thwarted in my daily prayers) or should I make exceptions?
My beloved Methodist grandmother (born 1898) used to teach me as a child to be strongly anti-Catholic. I grew up tolerant. Now I wonder.
Thanks in advance.
Is a death cult founded by a pedo.
They did, big time.
