Christians are being targeted by Allied Democratic Force (ADF) militants along the Eastern border of the Democratic Republic of Congo, (DRC) even though about 80 percent of the country’s population is considered to be Christian.
Voice of The Martyrs (VOM) revealed the story of local woman Kimboti on X, who, along with her eight children, was spared in an attack on Christians by ADF militants in their campaign to assert Islamic rule in the region. During their attacks, they often release local Muslims caught up in military action but kill Christians who refuse to convert to Islam.
Despite being spared, Kimboti and her children now live in greater poverty than they did before and receive aid in a camp. Even though there is a strong majority of Christians in its population, many Christians in the DRC live in constant fear of attack from any of about 100 known militant forces in the region, many of which only exist to attack Christians.
