An article in MEMRI discusses the ongoing persecution of Christians in sub-Saharan Africa by ISIS affiliates and other Islamist groups, highlighting the lack of response from prominent organizations and leaders, including the Pope, the UN, and various human rights organizations.
Over the past month, these groups have escalated their attacks, with reports of forced conversions, murders, and destruction of churches. In December alone, there were significant casualties, including over 70 Christians killed, many of them beheaded.
Not a day goes by without the MEMRI JTTM team documenting jihadi reports of attacks on African Christians.
Sadly, this terrorizing and slaughter of Christians outside the West has gone almost unnoticed, with no real action even by those who have the power to speak out and help protect them.
These include the UN, the African Union, the South African military, the Vatican and Pope Francis himself, even organizations such as Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, or the NAACP.
And not one word has been heard from Black Lives Matter, the Squad in Congress, scholars like Ta-Nehisi Coates, and many other imposters who say they care about human rights – but only do so selectively.
