Allied Democratic Forces Attack Village in the Congo

Formed in the Congo in the late 1990's, the Allied Democratic Force (ADF) is a Jihadist terrorist organization that has launched ongoing attacks throughout the region. Over the past 18 months, the UN reports that the ADF has killed over 1,000 people and wounded many more.  Just recently, the ADF attacked the Baeti Village in the Congo, near near the city of Oicha.  It is estimated that 20 people were killed in the attack and the militants burned down a local church along with several homes.  


It is very clear that this attack is motived by Jihadist extremism, and like many others around the world, it deliberately targeted Christians.  The ADF has openly proclaimed allegiance to ISIS, Al-Shabaab and other Jihadist organizations that have launched murderous campaigns against Christians, other non-Islamic faiths, and any Muslim who either belongs to the wrong sect or opposes their murderous agenda.  Yet world leaders and media continue to deceive themselves into thinking that Jihad is not a serious world-wide threat, and that these are only "lone wolves."  Considering that these "wolves" are attacking innocent people all over the world, I think these wolves are in truth part of a very large, very organized, and very vicious pack.
