Congo: More than 70 Christians were found decapitated inside a Protestant church in Maiba, North Kivu.

 The victims had fled to the CEBCEA Church in Kasanga, seeking sanctuary from a wave of attacks carried out by ADF militants aligned with ISIS.

Instead of finding safety, the victims were taken hostage by the Islamists before being killed. The 70 bodies - which included men, women and even children - were found tied up. The ADF has long terrorized eastern Congo and targeted Christian communities. The militant group, founded in Uganda, pledged allegiance to ISIS in 2019. The Christians living in these areas of the Congo require immediate assistance, security and prayers. Photo h/t -
