#RDC: dans une vidéo de près de 20 minutes intitulée "Une vie de djihad", l'État Islamique met en avant les activités de sa province d'Afrique centrale (#ISCAP) qui est l'#ADF, active à #Beni et #Irumu.

Introduite par des chants en #Arabe et en #Swahili et drapeau #MTM dominant
Dans la vidéo, on voit les visages des enfants récitant le #Coran puis des adultes qui indiquent que leur combat est dédié à la défense de leur religion contre les incrédules de l'@ONU_fr et les chrétiens.

"La vie est un passage et la mort pour la défense de l'islam, du miel" Image

Jambo! Yesterday was a busy day for @CounteringCrime but the best part (for me) was working w @ShubertMwarabu over VTC to teach about online scams that are infesting #swahili language social media, mostly on #facebook. In places FB calls ‘rest of world’ crime is many times worse. Image
We’re training journalists, comedians, musicians and activists who are creating Swahili-language content to spread the word of this risk. I love ❤️ supporting our great partners in Dar es Salaam. #Tanzania #Africa #socialmedia
Today @ShubertMwarabu followed up a day of training by appearing on Clouds FM Power Breakfast. He is singlehandedly getting the word out in his country and helping people stay safer on line. #asantesana Image
