BENI, 30 May 2022, (TON): The army and Red Cross said “at least 27 civilians were killed by members of a notorious rebel group in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.”
The Kivu Security Tracker, which monitors violence in the region via a team of experts on the ground, posted on Twitter to say that at least 27 civilians had been killed in the attack.
Army spokesman Anthony Mualushayi told media “we heard bullets at dawn in the village of Beu Manyama.”
“When we arrived, it was already too late because the enemy ADF had already killed more than a dozen of our fellow citizens with machetes.”
Mualushayi said “described by the so-called Islamic State as its local affiliate, the rebel Allied Democratic Forces have been accused of killing thousands of civilians in DRC’s troubled east. After the attack early Saturday, in the Beni region in North Kivu province, soldiers pursued the attackers.”
