Militia and rebels kill at least 27 people in two separate attacks in northeast of DRC, officials say
A South African soldier from UN mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo is seen during a patrol to hold off attacks by the Allied Democratic Forces rebels in northeastern Oicha, October 08, 2018.
"We have 20 people killed for now and 17 wounded, some of them admitted to hospital," Adel Alingi, a Djugu territory administrator, told AFP. Pilo Mulindro, a tribal chief, told AFP by telephone that "the victims are of all ages, children, youths, women and old men, killed by machete, by knife or by firearm".
In the Djugu territory, which covers more than 8,000 square kilometres, villages from both groups are interspersed and military spokesmen Jules Ngongo told AFP: "No army in the world can be everywhere in a zone like Djugu." The conflict has reignited in recent years and a UN report said in January that some deaths might constitute a "crime against humanity".In the second attack, close to the town of Beni, seven people were killed by the armed group Allied Democratic Forces , said a local official.
