IS-affiliated fighters have carried out attacks in both DR Congo and Uganda.

Rebels linked to the Islamic State (IS) group have killed more than 50 people at a funeral ceremony in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, officials have said.

Most of the victims were hacked with machetes in the night-time assault by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) on a village in North Kivu province, officials added.

This is the latest in a string of attacks linked to the ADF, raising fears that its insurgency is growing in strength.

The ADF emerged in Uganda in the 1990s, accusing the government there of persecuting Muslims. It is now based across the border in DR Congo and carries out attacks in both countries.

"I can confirm a provisional death toll of 50. The victims were caught off guard at a mourning ceremony in the village of Ntoyo," Macaire Sivikunula, a local administrator, was quoted as saying by Reuters news agency.

DR Congo army spokesman Lieutenant Marc Elongo said the ADF fighters had "already committed the massacre" by the time soldiers intervened during Monday night's attack, Reuters reported.

A local broadcaster, Radio Mishapi Voice, quoted witnesses as saying there was "utter carnage" in the village, and some people were also burnt in their homes.

The ADF has not yet commented.

The group is affiliated to the Islamic State's Central African Province.

More than 40 people, including nine children, were killed in an attack by its fighters in north-eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in July, the UN and the military said at the time.

Most of them were worshippers taking part in a night vigil at a church in the town of Komanda when they were attacked.

According to research by BBC Monitoring, nearly 90% of IS operations are now carried out by affiliates in Africa.

Ugandan and DR Congo troops have previously carried out joint operations in a bid to quell the insurgency.

Omo Africa which way forward don't let this monsters dictate your faith

Islam and irrational thinking, how they kill without logic and reasoning..

May their souls rest in peace and may lasting peace be restored to their land

May God safe the world from that demonic and heartless religion. This is really sad, with all the poverty in Africa terrorists are still killing innocent people.

Why is it that these sort of things still happen in only the African continent in this time and age?!

Israel remains the only country that knows how to deal with the terrorists

"The harlots are going ahead of them into the kingdom of God"

A bunch of good-for-nothing fellows.

Islam is a religion of peace.


Borno state...home of peace

Hope you get it now

Our brothers again, had str uck

I think ever nation needs to have their own Israel

Trust me the Congolese government will deal with these so called islamist not the way the Nigerian government is pampering them with negotiations and peace agreements.

Just one religion is the disease in this world, Chai... I blame Abraham for impatient.

Maybe DR Congo too should split like Sudan did such that,the Muslim dominated region would stay apart. South Sudan will remain grateful to God for their independence forever. DR Congo is another highly populated country in africa without many noticing

DR Congo should allign with the Israelis to stamp out these jihadists from Africa

I don't have sympathy for anyone connected to Terrorists.
A Terrorist's son is a potential Terrorist!
A Terrorist's daughter is a potential Terrorist Harbourer.

I don't like what Israel is doing to Palestinians but if you consider what some Muslims are doing in the name of Islam you want to start supporting Israel bombing them everywhere

One religion.... Problem everywhere.

Yet Muslims will come here and open mouth that islam is religion of peace.

Anyone who has common sense knows that Islam as a religion fuels terrorism.

Some people will be like na tulumbu cause this one o…abeg which funeral them Dey do for night self

There's no Muslim dominated region in DR Congo. It is a Christian majority country.

The wahala of religion too much for Africa. Abeg ‘make una drop all this religion. E never bring us anything. Just pain and death.

The blood of Deborah murdered by the evil people will surely hunt and avenge for Deborah in Jesus mighty name. Unless they repent and surrender themselves for justice.

Same thing political ideologies turn people to zombies! Be logical and think for yourself. Group think is why the world is heading towards perdition!

Islam is a curse to the world.




I just dey imagine a world without Muslims

Their madness in Africa is boundless. Israel, where are thou? Africa hath need of thee.

Dey play! These so call Jihadist,bandit or Boko haram depends on your region have the backings of the "west" especially if you have a major mineral resources.They purposely create security tension in the region while the said Jihadist dig out mineral resources then send to the west who in turn settle them in little portion.The west sell ammunition to these guys,why can't UN intervene to block where the ammunition are coming from.Gradually they want to wipe off the Africa black race,the west regretted giving Africans independent before we discovered vast of these resources
