Church buildings, businesses destroyed over pork sales near mosque.
NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – Five Christians were killed and 44 others injured on Nov. 4 after an Islamist leader incited Muslims to attack Christians over pork sales near a mosque in Yumbe, northern Uganda, sources said.
The violence erupted after reports spread that Christian merchants were openly selling pork near Munir Mosque, a move many Muslims described as provocative and disrespectful to their religion, which forbids consumption of pork.
According to police sources, the unrest began following a video that circulated on social media showing Sheikh Kasim Abdalla of Munir Mosque urging Muslims from the wider West Nile sub-region, and even from Sudan and Somalia, to support what he termed “Operation Albadiri,” likening it to an ancient Islamic battle.
In the video, on the evening of Nov. 3 he called for Islamic unity to “cleanse Yumbe of unholy practices,” mobilizing Muslims from mosques throughout Yumbe District to protest pork sales in Yumbe Town’s central business area.
The demonstration began peacefully on Nov. 4 but quickly turned violent as protesters began attacking Christian-owned shops and homes, area sources said. During the protest, Abdalla told his followers, “Yumbe was dedicated to Allah from the beginning. We cannot allow pork shops to operate here. Every Muslim youth must rise and defend the honor of our faith. Let no Christian business that promotes sin remain standing in our land,” according to an investigation by a northern Uganda contact, Moses Nsubuga.

I can get a pork chop in downtown Tel Aviv.
No riots involved.
DEFINE “NEAR”
“Protest”.
“Mostly peaceful.”
The soldiers of this TOTALITARIAN collective are still murdering innocent human beings 1800 years later. Civilization shrugs.
