Beheading and killing Christians and burning churches at they go, ISIS-affiliated militia in Central and Southern Africa have killed 4,943 people in from July 2024 to present in a rampage to take over several nations or parts of nations to established an Islamic State after extremists were expelled from the Syria-Iraq take over in 2019.
“What we see in Africa today is a kind of silent genocide or silent, brutal, savage war that is occurring in the shadows and all too often ignored by the international community,” MEMRI Vice President Alberto Miguel Fernandez. “The fact that some of this and some of the worst of it is happening because of a deep anti-Christian animus, hatred of Christians, religiously-based hatred of Christians is something that the UN usually doesn’t like to talk about.”
One estimate says that as many as 22,000 Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists. The jihadists are eliminated entire Christian communities, says Fernandez. MEMRI is a watchdog that monitors, translates and publicizes the threats (sometimes in Arabic) of extremists.
