“Kavalami said civil society representatives had alerted security forces about the threat of attacks but no steps had been taken.”
Why not? Because security forces are either unable or unwilling to help. Jihad groups are apparently more powerful than national militaries in many areas of Africa.
“Militia Attack Kills at Least Nine in Eastern DR Congo,” Defense Post, August 18, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
An attack by a group affiliated to Islamic State has killed at least nine people in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, local sources said Sunday.
Overnight Saturday to Sunday, the Allied Democratic Forces carried out attacks against civilians in the town of Oicha, looting shops and setting fire to homes, according to accounts collected by AFP on the spot.
Based since the mid-1990s in the northeastern DRC, near the Ugandan border, the ADF is a group of mainly Muslim Ugandan fighters who have killed thousands of civilians in the region.
During “this incursion, the ADF enemy killed eight civilians and a police officer,” Isaac Kavalami, president of a local civil group, told AFP….
Lieutenant Marc Elongo, spokesman for the Congolese army in the region, also blamed “ADF terrorists” for the attack.
The ADF was taking revenge on local civilians in retaliation for ongoing military operations in the area, he said in a statement.
Kavalami said civil society representatives had alerted security forces about the threat of attacks but no steps had been taken.
The ADF pledged allegiance to Islamic State in 2019, and has killed thousands of civilians despite the deployment of the Ugandan and Congolese armies.

If I were a resident anywhere near islamists, I would own a rifle (whether legal or illegal to have) with at least 1000 rounds of ammunition and enough magazines to load.
When the victims fire back, it gives the aggressor pause to continue their Jihad.

Amen. It’s sickening to hear of jihadists murdering people and it seems no one ever shoots back.
Obviously These demonic cowards go to areas where people are generally unarmed.
I pray for the day that I hear of jihadists being killing by return fire from someone that refuses to be a victim and is acting in self defense.
OLD GUY says
Nothing to see here. Just the same old ISLAM, robbing, raping and killing in the name of ALLAH. What a great religion for the stupid, the criminals and the media and political leaders to support around the world.
You have to be a special kind of IDIOT not to recognize the evil of ISLAM.
