Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) has claimed the killing of 64 Christians in north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in the past two weeks.
The claims were made on Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL, Daesh) social media channels and reported by the Terrorism Research & Analysis Consortium.
All 64 deaths resulted from terrorist attacks in the Lubero District of North Kivu Province.

In the most deadly incident on November 25, ISCAP reported that “the soldiers of the Caliphate attacked a cluster of Christian villages in the vicinity of the town of Vuyinga [leading to] the slaughter of 16 Christians, and the flight of the rest from the area, praise be to God.”
ISCAP has claimed the killing of at least 780 “infidel Christians” since Christmas 2024.
Barnabas Aid is working with project partners in north-eastern DRC to support the survivors of previous ISCAP attacks in the region, as well as those impacted by violence waged by M23 rebels and other armed groups.
How You Can Pray
Intercede for the survivors of these recent attacks along with the wider Christian community of north-eastern DRC. Ask that the Lord will preserve their faith despite the suffering that they continually endure. Pray that He will bring in end to the Islamist campaign of terror being waged across the region.
