In eastern Uganda in a predominantly Muslim village on 6 October, a mob of armed jihadists injured 27 Christians working at a food-producing project because people were coming to Christ through the outreach.
As they harvested rice, 16 of the 27 wounded Christians were seriously injured when the Islamists, invoking jihad in Arabic, descended on them.
Led by Imam
An imam identified only as Akiimu led the group in the attack. The Christians suffered deep cuts on their heads, faces and hands, as well as back injuries, as the assailants struck them with long, metal knives used for cutting firewood, among other objects.
