Death toll from attacks by Daesh-linked ADF rebels in Mukondi, a village in North Kivu province, climbs to 45, say officials in Democratic Republic of Congo
The death toll from several attacks this week by rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC] has risen to at least 45 people, local officials said, as officials buried the victims of latest massacre in eastern province.
"Here, three or four days don't go by without us recording deaths, the result of barbarity of the ADF terrorists. That is why once again, we repeat, we need a considerable military force to come that can contribute to the restoration of peace," he said. The ADF rebels are accused by the UN and rights groups of targeting, maiming, raping and abducting civilians, including children.
On Thursday, Associated Press reporters saw bodies lowered into a mass grave in Mukondi where more than 30 people were killed by gunshots, knives and machetes, according to authorities.
