grievances are tantamount to violation of basic human freedoms of worship and association. He called upon the Church in Western Uganda to remain steadfast in prayer and denounce any individual or group that calls for religious hate and discrimination.”
The head of the Baptist Church in Kasese also called for coexistence between people of different faiths, urging religious leaders in Congo and Uganda to seek a middle ground. He said, “Rebel attacks often result in the loss of innocent lives, causing immense suffering and destruction. We need to express solidarity with the victims and emphasize the importance of protecting human life and dignity, coexisting and engaging in interfaith dialogue in order to push back religious violence and terrorism.”
In 2019, ADF’s language became increasingly extremist when it forged official ties with Islamic State. In 2020, ADF leader Musa Baluku shared in a propaganda video that ADF had been dissolved and fully incorporated into the Islamic State conglomerate. Since that time, ADF has again become primarily marked by Islamist extremism—bad news for Christians in DRC, Uganda, and nearby Mozambique.
Please pray for the family of Betty that the lord would comfort them in their grief. Please also pray for the safe return of Aston and for the emotional healing of those who witnessed this brutal attack.
