Democratic Republic of the Congo: Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) and Madina at Tauheed Wau Mujahedeen (MTM) rebel groups killed at least 40 people in attacks in Ituri
Rebels have killed at least 40 people in several attacks in Congo’s eastern Irumu territory, a local civil rights group says.
Members of the Allied Democratic Forces and an Islamic State-linked group known as MTM staged the attacks Tuesday in Samboko, Bandavilemba and Walese-Vukutu in Ituri province, the Centre for the Promotion of Peace, Democracy and Human Rights said in a statement Wednesday.
The rebels, who recently began carrying out attacks together, used machetes and looted food and other valuables, the group said.
