 DR Congo attacks: Daesh-linked ADF terrorists kill 22, torch homes


At least 22 people were killed in a series of attacks by a terrorist group affiliated with Daesh between Tuesday and Wednesday in DR Congo’s eastern Ituri province.


The attacks were carried out by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) across eight locations in the Mambasa territory in Ituri, according to two civil society and human rights monitoring groups.


At least 10 people were also abducted.


“The death toll remains provisional. In addition to the 22 civilians killed, the perpetrators abducted other individuals, and motorcycles and homes were set on fire,” said Marie-Noelle Anatobe, coordinator of the Civil Society of Congo in Mambasa territory, AP reported.


The attacks happened in nearly inaccessible locations near the border between Uganda and Congo.


The ADF grew out of Uganda and was pushed to the border region with Congo, where it has operated for years, targeting civilians. It pledged allegiance to Daesh terrorist group in 2019.


Both the Ugandan and Congolese armies have been jointly attacking the group.
