At least 10 civilians were killed in the Democratic Republic of Congo’s restive east this week, a local administrator and a rights group said, blaming the violence on the ADF militia.
The killings happened “on Wednesday, May 12, in the villages of Ngaka and Mangundu” in Ituri province, the Kivu Security Tracker group posted on Twitter.”Local sources suspect the ADF, possibly in coalition with a local group,” the KST added.
Idriss Koma Kukodila, the administrator of the Mambasa territory where the attacks took place, told AFP that “young people found 15 decomposing bodies near Ngaka village on Saturday.” “They appear to have been killed in attacks on Thursday and Friday in the village, as well as in neighbouring Lukaya and Makumo,” Koma added, saying the Red Cross had buried the remains.
