The West yawns.
The latest Muslim assault on Christians in Central Africa took place in the Congo, where the Islamic State (ISIS) managed to slaughter people at a diocesan hospital that nuns run. But the international media, save for a handful of Christian sites, have been silent about this attack. They don’t have room to report on it; the “genocide” in Gaza takes up all of their bandwidth. More on this silence can be found here: “Christian mothers beheaded while nursing babies? The West yawns,” by Giulio Meotti, Israel National News, November 21, 2025:
…Seventeen people, including eleven nursing mothers, are the victims of a terrorist attack on a hospital in Congo. “Women who were breastfeeding were brutally massacred and found with their throats slit in their hospital beds,” said Kiwewa.
The facility attacked by ISIS terrorists is a diocesan medical center run by nuns.
Giovanni Piumatti, an Italian priest who served for over fifty years in the area, revealed: “The most tragic thing, beyond the number of innocent victims, is the way they kill – they slit civilians’ throats, they behead them. It’s horrible. Here they killed mothers while they were breastfeeding their babies. These massacres go beyond all imagination and happen almost every week. Many are never reported.”
Bishop Melchisedech Paluku Sikuli of the Diocese of Butembo-Beni told Newsweek: “Catholics are being killed in hospital beds amid religious persecution.”
“Where is the UN?”, asks Le Figaro. “The Secretary-General of the United Nations, usually very eloquent, is conspicuously absent. Never missing an opportunity for a lyrical outburst to denounce Donald Trump’s policies toward his South American neighbors, to stigmatize Israel, or to criticize the ban on the abaya in French schools, António Guterres remains strangely silent about the situation of Christians in this part of the world.
“It is as if the life of a Christian had no value in the vast global marketplace of moral and diplomatic virtues. This selective emphasis speaks volumes about what the United Nations has become.”…
The West has lost the courage not only to fight, but even to tell the truth. Trutth [sic], which in these times of concealment, is already truly a form of heroism.
Why are there no UN peacekeepers being sent to protect Christian civilians from Muslim attackers in central and northern Nigeria? Why have the peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo been so unwilling to engage with the ISIS killers? --->READ MORE HERE

A rebel group's attack on a Catholic hospital's maternity ward in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo killed around 20 people, including breastfeeding mothers and their babies. Authorities have blamed the Allied Democratic Forces, an armed group affiliated with the Islamic State, for the massacre.
The strike occurred Friday night in the village of Byambwe in North Kivu province's Lubero territory, where the ADF terror group targeted a health facility run by the Little Sisters of the Presentation.
Armed men moved swiftly through the village, killing patients in their beds and setting fire to the center, local administrator Col. Alain Kiwewa told The Associated Press on Saturday.
"Women who were breastfeeding were brutally slaughtered and found with their throats slit in their hospital beds," Kiwewa was quoted as saying. Of the 17 people killed, 11 were women and six were men, he said.
The same armed group also launched attacks in other nearby villages the same night, but officials said casualty figures from those areas remained unclear.
The hospital's maternity ward was among the hardest hit. Witnesses reported that several women and their newborns were burned alive.
The building was destroyed in the fire, and surrounding homes were looted and torched.
Survivors are now receiving care in the open, with the Little Sisters of the Presentation awaiting security assessments before reestablishing services, according to the Catholic news organization Aleteia.
Fr. Giovanni Piumatti, an Italian missionary who served in the Diocese of Butembo-Beni for more than 50 years, said that 15 people were killed inside the hospital and five more were murdered nearby.
The attackers, he added, were heavily armed and moved quickly through Byambwe before retreating into the forest. Houses near the clinic were burned after the assailants seized medical supplies. --->READ MORE HERE
