On April 2, 2024, Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) conducted an attack on the Christian village of Mangodomu in the Beni Territory of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Two days later, on April 4, ISCAP released a photoset documenting the atrocity.
In the photos, ISCAP fighters are pictured attacking the village, where they razed Christian homes to the ground, pulled crosses down, and captured and killed Christian civilian villagers. The group published 13 photos in total, which are provided below.
