DRC (International Christian Concern) — Before dawn on Tuesday, Sept. 9, a devastating attack by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) shattered the Congolese Christian community in Ntoyo-Mangurujipa, Lubero Territory, North Kivu, Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), leaving more than 70 civilians dead. Ntoyo, located about three miles east of Mangurujipa center, was struck while families had gathered for a wake in honor of a deceased loved one. What should have been a solemn night of mourning turned into a bloodbath. According to local reports, the ADF fighters stormed the gathering and opened fire without warning.
