Rebels shot or hacked to death at least 30 people in a new massacre in northeastern DR Congo. Members of civil society blamed the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a group linked to the so-called Islamic State, for the attack on Saturday in the province of Ituri.
Dieudonne Malangayi, acting chairman of the chiefdom of Walese Vonkutu, initially said 14 people died but more bodies had been discovered in the bush and the toll could rise further.
“The civilians who went to look for the bodies of the victims found 16 others in the bush, which makes 30 civilians massacred,” he said. A source confirmed that at least 30 people had died in the attack.
