Democratic Republic of Congo: UN mission MONUSCO forces launched an attack against ADF-Nalu rebels
The UN peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DR Congo) Thursday confirmed attacks on rebels who reportedly killed at least 42 civilians in the eastern province of North Kivu.
In a statement, the UN mission MONUSCO said its helicopters raided the Ugandan rebels ADF-NALU Wednesday and regained control of the positions seized by rebels, who were linked to the killing of 42 civilians in the village of Kamango bordering Uganda, Xinhua reported.
“These people were killed by ADF-NALU helped by the M23, when the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (FARDC) led an offensive against the ADF-NALU positions to Kamango,” Mwiti Thomas, president of the civil society in North Kivu, said.
