From yesterday morning I have been trying to contact a lot of my contemporaries with an aim of trying to understand what is really behind CODECO,it seems thus militia group is deep rooted in the societies of Ituri,but the biggest question is"does the DRC gorvenment know this?what does MONUSCO exhaustively say about CODECO?? Has FARDC failed to uproot them?
...This is what happened in the night of Friday to Saturday.....

Civil society in chiefdom of Bahema Badgere, Djugu territory reports 12 civilians killed in attacks attributed to CODECO militiamen, between Friday and Saturday June 27, 2020.
“Around 3 pm on Friday, in the village, they killed 4 people including the village chief and a midwife who works in a local health center, before also injuring 1 man. The night of that same Friday to Saturday, they attacked the villages of Kodjo and Mbata where they killed 8 people "as  reported by Molodra Désiré, coordinator of this citizen structure.
Mr. Molodra pleads for a sufficient deployment of FARDC soldiers in certain villages such as Goba and Nzalda where there is no presence of the police.
However ,up to now,the FARDC army has not yet given more substantiated information about this attack,but the civilians confirmed the attack.
The militia of CODECO active for 3 years in the province of Ituri, multiplied atrocities against the civil populations which made several hundreds of deaths since the beginning of the current year, acts that the criminal court international ICC describes as "likely to constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity".
