Rebels belonging to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) killed 57 people in a Sunday night attack on two villages in the territory of Irumu, Ituri Province in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, local officials say.
Officials in these villages attribute these massacres to the rebel group established in the forests of eastern DRC, and which operates in the country and in Uganda. For now, the Congolese army has yet to communicate the identity of attackers, though there are several armed groups that are active in Ituri province.
