March 15 (EUROPA PRESS) –
At least seven people have died this Saturday in an alleged attack by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in the North Kivu region, in the east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
As reported by local authorities, in the last week 27 people have died in three separate attacks, since the rebels killed 17 people this Monday, while on Saturday night they killed three people, as Radio Okapi has reported. .
The sources consulted by the Actualité portal indicated that there are currently numerous confrontations and that the inhabitants are trying to flee to protect themselves from possible reprisals.
The area, where Mai Mai rebels also operate, is a recurring scene of violent actions. In the case of the ADF – a group that the United Nations accuses of killing more than 1,200 civilians in a massacre in 2021 – it is an Islamist organization of Ugandan origin that in 2019 swore allegiance to the terrorist organization State Islamic in Central Africa (ISCA), to which he would continue to be linked to this day.
