A spokesperson of the army told the news agency Reuters that the attack was most likely carried out by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan militant group that pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (IS) in 2019.

At least five people were killed and 15 others were injured on Sunday (January 15) in a suspected militant bombing during a church service in DR Congo’s Kasindi in North Kivu- which is on the border with Uganda. A spokesperson of the army told the news agency Reuters that the attack was most likely carried out by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF)- a Ugandan militant group that pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (IS) in 2019. “Despite the security measures put in place, the first indications show that it is the ADF which is behind this bomb attack,” army spokesperson Anthony Mualushay told the news agency.

The ADF has not yet claimed responsibility for the attack. DR Congo’s communications ministry, meanwhile said an investigation is underway to detect the origin of the attack.

Alain Kitsa, a resident of Kasindi, told Reuters “I just came back from the scene, where I saw the bodies of children on the ground,” and described the atmosphere in the city as tense. If the news about ADF behind the bombing is confirmed, this would be the first time the militant group targeted Kasindi since 2014, according to local administrator Charles Omeonga who told the news agency the estimated death toll in the bombing was at least 10.

The ADF has been accused of killing thousands of civilians in the Central African country along with carrying out bombings in Uganda. For the last two years, the militaries of Congo and Uganda have launched a joint operation to target the ADF in North Kivu and the neighbouring Ituri province, a report by the news agency AFP said….

Overwhelming majority of admired moslems from the past were raiders, invaders and slave catchers. There's a moslem holy term for it, 'ghazi'.

That's the tale arabs like to tell about themselves. Same for the ottomans and the moslem turks who invaded and killed people all over India and Central Asia.

That is the conclusion of many historians.the arabs did not propagate religion and freed roman slaves.

That's the conclusion of moslems, not historians. There are historians who pointed out that arabs continuously launched invasions and raids all over Europe to kill, loot, plunder and take slaves.

The later invasion is very different from early liberation.
