Congo has been violent for a long time.

The attack took place in Iumu area, which is bordering Uganda. The attackers killed people with large knives. Local Civil Society President Marcel Paluku said that the attackers did not leave women either. Apart from this, accurate information about how many people have been abducted.

United Nations Mission spokesman Jean Toby Okala called the attack a ‘flood of blood’. He said, “On Thursday and Friday, about 30 people were killed in Vonkutu Chiefdam, but now the death toll has increased to 66 based on the information received from the civil society.” The attack is believed to be a response to the bombing launched by the forces of Congo and Uganda on Sunday. ADF is a Ugandai Islamic group, which has been associated with the Islamic State since 2019 and is active on the border of the two countries. The terrorists of this faction have been consistently involved in violence and have killed all the people.

There is a war with M3, another rebel faction M3 already supported by Vanda in Eastern Congo. However, this war is expected to end, but the ADF attacks have increased the tension in the area. In recent years, ADF has intensified its attacks near the Uganda border and towards Goma and Ituri province. According to human rights organizations and United Nations, this group has killed hundreds of people and abducted many people, especially children. In December, ADF also killed 10 people in a village in North Kivu and abducted many. About 10 per cent of the population of Congo is Muslims, most of whom live in the eastern part. (AP)
