 ZIMBABWEAN COUPLE DEPORTED OVER SECRET BURIAL OF CHILD IN BOTSWANA A Zimbabwean couple has been deported from Botswana after secretly burying their child without notifying authorities. Motilinah Mpofu and Christopher Ncube were convicted on Thursday of concealing a death after they allegedly dug a grave for their child in the dead of night. The Gaborone court heard the child had died suddenly. Instead of reporting the death to police, health officials, or traditional leaders, the couple quietly buried the youngster and hoped no one would find out. But the secret did not stay buried for long.   Police moved in and arrested the pair. In sentencing, the court ordered that the couple be taken to the Plumtree Border Post for deportation to Zimbabwe.  Top Botswana lawyer Winnie Masitha who offered the couple free legal representation during the trial, confirmed the deportation to BTV News. Masitha believed that the matter should not be viewed only through the lens of crim...

 ADF rebels kill at least 21 in DRC during Christmas week


ADF rebels have killed at least 21 people over Christmas week in the conflict-riven eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local sources told AFP.


The attacks all took place close to Manguredjipa, a town known for its rich mineral deposits whose environs are regularly targeted by the ADF.


On December 21, ADF rebels made an incursion into the village of Robinet, in the Bapere sector of North Kivu province.


"They killed six people on the spot, then on December 22 they arrived at the neighbouring village we call Kodjo where they killed 12 people," Macaire Sivikunula, a representative for the Bapere sector's governor, told AFP.


Then on Christmas Day itself, ADF fighters "arrived seven kilometres (four miles) from Manguredjipa in the village called Makele and killed three people," Sivikunula added.


Multiple separate local sources confirmed the dates, locations and tolls of these attacks to AFP.


Originally from Uganda, the ADF, or Allied Democratic Forces, have been present since the mid-1990s in the DRC's restive northeast, where its fighters have killed thousands of civilians.


In 2019, the ADF pledged allegiance to a foreign terrorist group.


The foreign terrorist organisation often claims responsibility for some of the rebel group's attacks.


At the end of 2021, Uganda and the DRC launched a joint military operation against the ADF.


Baptised "Shujaa", that offensive has so far proved unsuccessful in putting an end to their attacks.


Both armies have pushed the rebels back into remote and inaccessible areas, where local civilians are often at the mercy of their particularly violent methods.


Sivikunula said the Ugandan and Congolese armies were present and at work in Manguredjipa.


"But as the rebels are scattered in small groups of dispersed fighters, it's really difficult to pinpoint their location," he added.


North Kivu province also faces a separate rebel insurgency further south, with the Rwanda-backed M23 movement and the DRC's army locked in fighting all week following the failure of a peace summit in mid-December.


Home to vast mineral resources, the eastern DRC has been plagued by infighting between various armed groups for decades.
