Alleged ADF rebels continue to terrorise and plunder Irumu territory in Ituri. They killed another 6 (six) civilians during an incursion on Sunday July 12, 2020, reports local civil society.
Reliable sources reveal that this new attack by these armed men was reported on the border between the chiefdoms of Walese Vonkutu and Banyali-Tchabi, precisely in the village of Abendi.
A rebel attack which intervenes only two days after another, last Thursday July 10, 2020, in this region of Irumu (Bahema Boga and Bahema Mitego), where 3 people were killed, 20 others kidnapped alongside an important number of cattle and goods taken.
On Saturday July 11, 2020, spokesman for the DRC Armed Forces in Ituri, Lt. Jules Ngongo, said that everything was under army control in this part of Irumu.
So far, security sources have not yet spoken out regarding this attack. In the meantime, the local force notes a massive displacement of civilians.
