Suspected ISIS Affiliates Kill at Least 18 in East Congo Attack
6th June 2022
BENI, Democratic Republic of Congo—Suspected ISIS terrorist affiliates killed at least 18 people in a village raid in eastern Congo on Sunday night, local sources said, while fighting resumed with the M23 rebel group in a neighbouring province.
Terrorists believed to be from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) killed residents and burned down houses in the village of Otomabere, in Irumu territory, Ituri Province, said a witness, a local chief and a local human rights group.
Congolese army spokesman Jules Ngongo confirmed the ADF attack without giving a death toll, and said Congolese forces were in pursuit of the assailants.
The ADF is an Ugandan ISIS affiliate that moved to eastern Congo in the 1990s.
Just a little reminder that Muslim terrorists are still out there and still killing innocent people.
