The sector leader and local civil society representatives confirmed this death toll during a telephone interview this ended Saturday, August 16.
"We confirm that there was an ADF attack in the aforementioned group. There are deaths and missing persons. Security services are still working in the area, pursuing the attackers. We will get back to you with the final death toll soon," said Bapere sector leader Macaire Sivikunulwa.
For his part, Samuel Kagheni, president of the Bapere civil society, denounced the death toll as too high and provided more details on the affected villages.
"In the village of Emelia, the ADF executed 32 people. In Ekenge, four more people lost their lives. Far away, in Mutaweza, six civilians perished. These villages are located north of Manguredjipa, more than 60 kilometers away. We ask the relevant authorities to see how to put an end to this barbarity that is causing mourning in the Bapere sector. We also call on the government to support the security forces in this area with personnel and ammunition so that the ADF phenomenon can be brought to an end," he said.
This human rights defender also calls on the National Defense Ministry to relocate the armed groups calling themselves "Wazalendo," as some of them are allegedly causing confusion and collaborating with the rebels.
For,some past days,the civilians had been making alerts of movements of unknown people whom they suspected to be the terrorists,why should civilians make alert to the authorities in DRC and no action made,what does it show....there is evidence as said by one FARDC spokesperson that some civilians aid the terrorists,why can't they weed out such elements???
To me,as someone who has been reading and following much about the attrocities of these terrorists,I call upon,CDF Muhoozi to make more deployments to hunt these terrorists,and many will not care about the noise made about the UPDF's involvement in this Part of DRC..what we need is peace ,and as president Museveni once said,you cannot have a good sleep if your neighbor is under attack.
...For God and My Country....
