Suspected Islamist Rebels Kill At Least 16 In Eastern Congo

The victims were hacked to death with machetes in their homes or fields. Some were executed while trying to escape, said a local official Fabien Kakule Viriro.

The ADF, which began as a Ugandan insurgency, has been operating from the jungles of eastern Congo for nearly three decades. Viriro said, “We believe that the ADF are the perpetrators of this attack, they took advantage of the departure of the military in the area to come and kill the population.”
