In its latest publication, the Al-Naba newspaper claims responsibility, via an infographic, for attacks by Islamist rebels ADF/ISCAP against Congolese civilians, soldiers of the Armed Forces of the DRC, and Mai-Mai/Wazalendo militias in North Kivu and Ituri.
▶️ Human toll: 178 people killed, including 132 civilians (Christians) and 46 soldiers and militiamen
▶️ Attack areas: Lubero and Mambasa
▶️ Period: November 22, 2025 to January 22, 2026
▶️ Nature of attacks: 6 raids and clashes, 6 ambushes, 31 attacks, 2 bombings, and 17 arson attacks targeting 80 houses and 7 military barracks.
As a reminder, these killings took place in the areas where the joint military operations #Shujaa, targeting ADF/ISCAP fighters and conducted by the FARDC and the UPDF (Ugandan army), are being carried out.
This security crisis, which poses a regional threat, is one of the most neglected situations in the Great Lakes region, both by the national and international community, despite being one of the bloodiest conflicts of the last ten years.
The UN Group of Experts and other entities that monitor security incidents in eastern DRC have not mentioned this war in their recent reports, focusing primarily on the M23 conflict.
