Ugandan rebels from the Democratic and Allied Forces (ADF) have been perpetrators of several attacks in the space of three days; in the Banande-Kainama and Malambo groups, Beni territory in North Kivu. During these attacks, at least 10 civilians were killed by these rebels.
It is the Centre for Study for the Promotion of Peace, Democracy and Human Rights (CEPADHO); which delivers the news in its daily newsletter on the security situation in both the city and the territory of Beni.
According to this organization, some of the victims were killed on the day of September 04 and Saturday, September 05; in the villages Kakuka, Kafeza, Kitiba and Kingamuviri in Banande-Kainama Group.
′′ In addition to the looting and other damage deplored, at least 6 civilians were massacred and another 2 injured. Some civilians kidnapped in Ibanda / Semuliki were also reported on Friday. We learn that 4 of them would have been released by their executioners on Sunday, September 07; after being forced to serve as Carriers of the Attackers." .
The other 4 civilians, including a woman, were massacred by ADF; around 15 pm on Monday, September 07 at the Butau River north of Halungupa; in the Kilya Village in Malambo group. Victims would have been surprised by rebels in their fields, add the document.
′′ In this country, Wednesday, September 02th, 1 civilians had been killed by ADF in Tsotsora and 2 others seriously injured. Victims would have been embarrassed when their fields returned. The dead and one of the injured have been identified as residents of Nzenga, close to Mutwanga." says CEPADHO.
With the various massacres perpetrated last weekend and Monday; CEPADHO realizes that at least 70 civilians have been killed by ADF in the space of three weeks in Beni territory. This brings to 824, civilians massacred by ADF since the launch of large-scale operations against them by FARDC on October 30, 2019.
In this context, CEPADHO reminds us that the capacity of the ADF / MTM movement should not be minimized, which he believes is attached to terrorist groups in the Islamic State Daesh, Al Shebaab of Somalia, or Al Sunnah of Mozambique.
