Atleast 9 people were killed, others kidnapped, and houses burned during a new ADF attack on Friday, November 15, in Mabisio, a village in the Bapere sector in the Lubero territory (North Kivu).

 

According to military Intelligence sources, the attackers targeted this village, where the army is not deployed, before attacking civilians and looting some pharmacies.

The local population has moved to other nearby villages considered safer.

We had earlier reported on the presence of ADF in this area as indicated in our post of last week.

The administrator of the Lubero territory, Colonel Alain Kiwewa, announces that the coalition of the Congolese (FARDC) and Ugandan (UPDF) armies are in pursuit of the attackers.

"It was yesterday afternoon, we experienced this tragedy caused by these ADF/MTM terrorists. The toll is 9 people killed, including six men and three women. And as in their modus operandi, they again looted and burned houses, shops, and pharmacies to stock up on food and medicine. For the moment, the FARDC and UPDF coalition is in pursuit of the attackers until now," explained Colonel Alain Kiwewa.

According to Intelligence information collect from civilians today,The attackers carried out the incursion into this  village of Mobiso, located about twenty kilometers west of Manguredjipa, Bapere sector, in broad daylight last Thursday.

"The ADF unloaded on civilians in the aforementioned village. This part is not controlled by the country's army, the enemy even took the drink on the spot before executing the victims," worries Kakule Kagheni, president of the civil society of the Bapere sector.

The latter, who calls on the security services to intensify search operations in the depths of Bapere, also speaks of some injuries.

"Let the elements of the FARDC-UPDF coalition intensify operations against the ADF in Bapere, especially in the villages where they are hiding. Some people were injured following the passage of the latter in the village of Mobosio," he urged.

However, information  from the confidant sources who were contacted on site in Bapere, the activities resumed timidly in the zone on Friday under the control of the elements of the FARDC-UPDF coalition who deployed its elements in depth to track down the enemy.

It should be noted that several official sources of base chiefs in the Bapere sector have warned of the presence of the ADF in the mining area called "Suisse" where they have allegedly erected a large base.
