Christians martyred in Congo: A horrific story much of the mainstream media has ignored comes out of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), where 70 Christians were brutally murdered by members of the rebel group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), which has ties to the Islamic State. According to Jeff King, president of International Christian Concern, a persecution watchdog, "This recent massacre ... is not an isolated incident but part of a grim tapestry of violence that has claimed over 6 million lives in the DRC over two decades of on-and-off war." He noted, "The vast majority of the DRC's residents are Christian, so this is a religious genocide carried out by radical Islamic terrorists."
