Democratic Republic of the Congo: At least 25 killed by Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels in eastern Congo, some beheaded
At least 25 people were killed in an attack on New Year’s Eve by rebels in Congo’s eastern Beni territory, local officials said Friday.
Farmers had gone to the fields in the village of Tingwe when they were attacked by Allied Democratic Forces rebels, according to the representative of the governor in the region, Sabiti Njiamoja.
Some of the bodies were found by rescue teams in the bushes on Friday, he said.
“We are in mourning,” Njiamoja said.
