“It is not normal for the enemy to operate twice within the same area without being stopped, while the area is under the full control of the regular army, supported by the UPDF (Ugandan army) and MONUSCO peacekeepers.”
Well, clearly the area is not under the full control of the regular army, supported by the Ugandan army and MONUSCO “poeacekeepers.” Clearly the jihadis do not fear those forces, and are more powerful than they are. Maybe, just maybe, a better strategy would be to stop the money flow to the jihadis and thereby end their ability to amass forces that are superior to the national armies. But there doesn’t appear to be any effort to do that.
“Days After Massacre, ADF Kills 24 More Christians,” International Christian Concern, June 5, 2026:
During the night of June 2, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) attacked the village of Mbau, located about 12 miles from Beni City in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), leaving at least 24 Christians dead, according to preliminary reports. Among the victims were a local pastor and his wife.
The attack occurred just days after another brutal overnight attack nine miles away on May 30, which left 15 dead in the village of Ngadi.
The latest massacre has intensified concerns about the worsening security situation in a region that remains under the protection of the Congolese Armed Forces (FARDC), supported by the Ugandan People’s Defense Force (UPDF), and United Nations peacekeepers from MONUSCO. For many residents, the attack has raised difficult questions about how armed militants continue to strike repeatedly in areas where ample security forces are present.
Edgar Mateso, a political analyst and political philosopher, described the situation as deeply troubling.
“It is not normal for the enemy to operate twice within the same area without being stopped, while the area is under the full control of the regular army, supported by the UPDF (Ugandan army) and MONUSCO peacekeepers,” he said.
Mateso added that the repeated attacks reveal serious shortcomings in the current security strategy and require an urgent response from authorities in Kinshasa. He said he believes the government must fundamentally rethink its approach to the ADF threat in eastern DRC.
Without a thorough review of military operations and security governance, he argued, the people of North Kivu province will continue to suffer under a conflict that has lasted for far too long. Ending the activities of these violent militants, he insisted, “should no longer be viewed as a secondary mission but rather as one of the nation’s highest priorities.”…

“Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa today, solely because the seventh-century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight.
Christianity has been saved in Europe, solely because the peoples of Europe have fought to date. If the peoples of Europe in the seventh and eighth centuries, and on up to and including the seventeenth century, had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over, the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would have been at this moment Mohammedan and the Christian religion would have been exterminated!
Wherever the Mohammedans had complete sway, wherever the Christians had been unable to resist them by the sword, and Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of John III Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedanaggressors.
The Civilization of Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand exists today only by virtue of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization; victories through the centuries from Martel in the eighth century and those of Sobieski in the seventeenth century. During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish King, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors, and, in consequence, Christianity has practically vanished from the two continents, and today, nobody can find in them any ‘social values’ whatsoever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influences are concerned.
There are such ‘social values’ today in Europe, America, Canada, Australia, and NZ only because during those thousand years, the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do — that is, to beat back the Moslem invaders.” — Teddy Roosevelt, former POTUS
David Lakatos says
Muhammad has been blaspheming Jesus and killing Christians since the 7th century. 60 million Christians were killed by the so-called religion of peace. And they’re still killing Christians to this day. If Islam is the religion of peace, then why was it spread by the sword? Islamophobia is as phony as Islam is. It’s more like Islam has a Phobia about anything not Islamic.

I would think these Christians would have dialed up Pretoria by now. Peace and trust will not win this day… Only heavy ordnance.

Just another day in the islamic domination of the world. The let’s sit back in the safety of their secured homes telling the Christian’s of the world to be sheep to the slaughter has to stop. Islam is a violent murdering organization hiding behind religion. These raping, violent and murdering islamic religious men and women are a total threat to all who don’t knell to their demands. Violence must be meet with violent self defense or you will bow or die.
