IS-linked rebels kill 89 in Congo attacks

In a chilling report from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Islamic State-linked rebels have carried out a series of brutal attacks, killing eighty-nine civilians in Lubero territory. The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) targeted civilians, including women and children, in North Kivu province between November thirteenth and nineteenth. One of the most horrific incidents involved an assault on a Catholic Church-operated health center in Byambwe, where rebels killed seventeen people and set fire to four wards filled with patients. MONUSCO has called for independent investigations to hold those responsible accountable, as the ADF continues to destabilize the region despite ongoing military operations.
