According to reports from Christianpost, the violence was sparked by a public call from a Muslim leader to "cleanse" the area of pork sales near a mosque.
The clashes began on November 4, a few hours after a video featuring Sheikh Kasim Abdallah was circulated on social media. In the video, the religious leader announced an "operation" to combat what he called "impure practices" and urged Muslims from Yumbe and neighboring regions to support his initiative. By morning, aggressive groups began attacking shops and homes owned by Christians.
Among the dead are members of Protestant communities, the Anglican Church. Witnesses report that the attacks were marked by brutality, with several Christian churches in the town being looted and damaged, and believers' homes set on fire.
Ugandan police have arrested more than 30 people, including Sheikh Abdallah himself, who is suspected of inciting religious hatred. Christians in the region are calling on authorities to ensure safety and restore law and order. "We pray for peace but demand justice for our killed and injured brothers," said Anglican Church representative Father Akidribo Robert.
As reported by the UOJ, in Congo, Islamists killed 20 Christians in an attack on a Catholic clinic.
