The Islamic State targets Christians in attacks in brutal Africa, beheaded reported

International observers report that soldiers aligned by the Islamic State behead Christians and churches and burning houses in Central and Southern Africa – with some of the most brutal attacks in the Nation of Mozambique.

The Media Research Institute in the Middle East (MEMRI) – A non -profit research organization against terrorism based in Washington, DC – sounds this alarm on what it describes as a “silent genocide” takes place against Christians.

The Islamic State Province of Mozambique (ISMP) recently published 20 photos from four attacks on “Christian villages” in the Chiure district, in the north of Cabo Delgado du Mozambique, according to Memri.

Memri said the photos show that Islamic State agents have made a descent of villages and burn a church and houses. The images would also have declared the beheadings of a member of what the jihadists consider the “unfaithful militias” and two Christian civilians. The unleashed jihadist groups celebrated the murders. The photos have also shown the corpses of several members of these so-called “unfaithful militias”, according to the analysis of the institute.

“What we see in Africa today is a kind of silent or wild and silent and brutal war genocide that occurs in the shadows and too often ignored by the international community,” said Vice-President of Memri, Alberto Miguel Fernandez, at Fox News Digital.

“Whether the jihadist groups are able to take control not one, not two, but several African countries – to take control of the whole country or most of several countries – is dangerous,” said Fernandez, former American diplomat. “It is very dangerous for the national security of the United States and even less the security of the poor who are there – Christians or Muslims or who are.”

The province of Central African Islamic State (ISCAP) has also recently published several photos of their own documentation of an attack on July 27 against the Christian village of Komanda in the Democratic Republic of the province of Ituri in the Congo. Soldiers affiliated with the Islamic State opened fire in a Catholic and burnt down houses, stores, vehicles and goods. According to Memri, at least 45 people were killed. The photos show burning facilities and the corpses of Christians.

Fernandez explained to Fox News Digital that the objective of these jihadist groups is “to eliminate Christian communities”, while they push refuges and Muslims are “who have the choice:” either join us, or you too face death and annihilation “.” “”

“Christians, of course, will not be invited to join,” said Fernandez to Fox News Digital. “Christians will be targeted and destroyed.”

The United Nations Migration Agency said on Monday that insurgent attacks in northern Cabo Delgado from Mozambique moved more than 46,000 people in eight days last month.

The International Migration Organization said that almost 60% of forced people at home were children.

In a separate report, the United Nations Humanitarian Bureau said that the wave of attacks between July 20 and 28 in three Cabo Delgado districts caused the sharp increase in travel.

While the United Nations refers to attacks, its reports have not detailed the deaths or specified the targets. At least nine Christians from the province of Cabo Delgado would have been killed in distinct attacks by Islamic insurgents during this period.

“I am not a fan of the United Nations in general, but I think what they do is somehow the lowest common denominator,” Fernandez told Fox News Digital. “It is a little easy to be vague like that. The fact that some of this and some of the worst occur because of a deep anti-Christian animus, hatred of Christians, hate religiously based on Christians is something that the UN generally does not like to speak.”

Mozambique Islamic State fighters would have captured and beheaded six Christians in the village of Natocua in the Ancuabe district of Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique on July 22, according to Memri.

Barnabas Aid, an international Christian charitable organization, underlined the reports of the research consortium and analysis of terrorism claiming that three other Christians were slaughtered in the Chiure district during attacks on July 24 and 25.

The southern African nation is fighting against an insurrection by activists affiliated to the Islamic State in the North for at least eight years. Rwandan soldiers were deployed to help Mozambique fight them.

The jihadist groups were accused of decaputing villagers and kidnapping children to be used as workers or children soldiers. The UN believes that the violence and the impact of drought and several cyclones in recent years have led to the displacement of more than a million people in northern Mozambique.

Fernandez said he was thinking that the Trump administration “had been refreshing and strong with regard to jihadist terrorism” – but what is happening in Africa generally does not receive as much attention from the Middle East. He pointed out how Trump’s intervention in the United States has courted a cease-fire contract between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo helps compensate for jihadist groups that take advantage of security vacuum cleaners and unreaded spaces to extend control.

Fernandez also warned against the threat of jihadist ideology. After the Islamic State was “very strongly defeated” in the Middle East during the first administration of Trump, he said that branches are now turning to weaker territories to extend their influence.

“It’s a bit like a Whack-A-Mole situation,” said Fernandez, explaining that the Islamic State was controlled a pseudo-state of the United Kingdom between Syria and Iraq ago. “What we have to see is that they are totally defeated in Africa, so people will say, people on the sidelines where people in defense will say:” Well, obviously, these people did not have the mandate of Allah, the mandate God, they were losers, they lost. “This is what we need.”

Doctors Without Borders said they launched an emergency response to help thousands of recently moved people who are now living in camps in the Chiure district.

Meanwhile, the Congolese army said last month that attacks in the village of Komanda in the region struck by conflicts had been carried out by the Allied democratic force, supported by the Islamic State. The group has mainly targeted villagers in eastern Congo and on the other side of the border in Uganda. ADF leaders promised an allegiance in 2019 in the Islamic State and sought to establish an Islamic caliphate in Uganda.
