ROME (OSV News) \u2014 Missionaries in Congo denounced a \u201cshameful silence\u201d of the international community as 20 people were killed in a terrorist attack Nov. 14 at the North Kivu village of Byambwe, in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to Vatican News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pope Leo XIV<\/a> offered special prayers for the Christian community in North Kivu, where members of the Allied Democratic Forces, a group loyal to Islamic State, attacked a clinic run by the Presentation Sisters, killing 15 people before stealing medications and burning the clinic down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They went to nearby homes as well, killing another five people, Vatican News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet us pray that all violence may cease and that believers may work together for the common good,\u201d the pope said during the Angelus prayer on Nov. 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the massacre of patients, the ADF set the hospital ablaze, killing several women in the maternity ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attack was confirmed to Vatican News<\/a> by Father Giovanni Piumatti, an Italian priest who has served for over 50 years as a Fidei Donum missionary in the Diocese of Butembo-Beni.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to Vatican News from Italy, he described the massacre as a \u201ctypical ADF attack,\u201d in which apart from killing civilians, the terrorists set ablaze their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore destroying everything, they looted all the medical supplies \u2014 I believe that was their main objective,\u201d he told Vatican news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPanic spread everywhere. The army pursued them, but despite its efforts, the terrorists escaped. They seem to be better armed and equipped<\/a> than the regular forces,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acts of extreme brutality denounced<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The missionary underlines a sophisticated brutality of ADF forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is most tragic \u2014 beyond the sheer number of innocent victims \u2014 is the way they kill,\u201d Father Piumatti said. \u201cThey slit civilians\u2019 throats, decapitate them \u2014 it\u2019s horrific. Here they killed mothers as they were breastfeeding their babies. These massacres are beyond imagination, and they happen almost every week. Many go unreported,\u201d he told Vatican News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same group is believed to kill at least 43 people, including children, in a brutal July 27 overnight attack on a Catholic church in Komanda<\/a> in eastern Congo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vatican News said that the Little Sisters of the Presentation who run the hospital in North Kivu, provide vital medical care in a remote area that lacks functioning hospitals. They mainly assist women in childbirth, but the facility also includes clinics and surgical units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe ADF<\/a> have been active in this region for at least three years,\u201d Father Piumatti continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of the fighters come from Uganda. They attack indiscriminately \u2014 on the roads, in villages, in the fields while people work. In addition to killing, they kidnap children and young people for training. They often act under the influence of drugs, and they drug the captives they abduct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen preparing an attack, the adults strike first, then force the young recruits to continue the killing with machetes. They are utterly brutal<\/a>,\u201d he told the Vatican media outlet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Priest condemned the silence of the international community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The sisters, now working on the streets, continue to assist survivors however they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Nov. 16, there appeared to be no casualties among the sisters, though many newborns are believed to have been kidnapped. \u201cIt is horrifying and heartbreaking to witness and hear such things,\u201d Father Piumatti said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The missionary priest condemned what he called the \u201cshameful silence\u201d of the international community, denouncing the West\u2019s complicity in supporting certain forms of violence and terrorism<\/a> for economic gain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKivu is rich in mineral deposits \u2014 a land full of precious resources that has always been contested,\u201d said Father Piumatti. \u201cThat is why these Islamist groups receive backing. The ADF are the most ferocious, but they are not the only ones supplied with weapons and money to keep trade flowing. These conflicts serve commercial interests \u2014 and the world\u2019s silence is profoundly troubling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
