Kasindi church bombing
The Kasindi church bombing killed at least 17 people at a Sunday service in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in January 2023. Through October 6, 2023 the opening said authorities blamed 'the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a Ugandan Islamist group whose insurgency began in 1996 and spread to the DRC.' Today's opening drops the ADF's description entirely, saying only that Islamic State - Central Africa Province claimed responsibility, though islamist survives twice in the body. A reader today does not learn that the group Congolese authorities blamed was identified as a Ugandan Islamist group with a decades-long insurgency.
