Victims being buried after ADF massacres in Ntoyo (Photo: ACN)Islamist massacres against Christians in Africa are becoming more and more common, with the latest outrage occurring in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Despite the name, the ADF is in fact aligned with ISIS, billing itself as the local branch of the international Jihadist group. Some 43 Christians were killed a prayer vigil in July and at the beginning of the year 70 Christians were found beheaded in a Protestant church. Despite a huge Christian population, Nigeria currently is ranked by Open Doors as the 7th worst country for anti-Christian persecution due to the severity of Islamist violence in parts of the country. The DRC is ranked 35th on the list, but has risen six places from last year, due to the increase in Islamist violence.
