    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-51821411 [www bbc com] Massacre in Kanungu, #Uganda

    I honestly never heard about this. 778 cult members (Movement for the Restoration of the Ten Commandments of God) died 2000-03-17. Apparently, the cult had preached the end of the world on 1999-12-31, and it had not happened. And according to the Wiki article (I know! I just didn't feel like doing the digging myself when the article seems to be missing links to some of its references.) All told, a total of 924 people were killed.
