‘ADF behind beheadings’ in eastern DR Congo
Local officials in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo now say the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) militia were behind the killing of 46 people from the Mbuti forest community.
A local association said the heads had been cut from many of the victims’ bodies.
It’s the latest massacre blamed on the ADF – the most notorious of the more than 100 militias in eastern DR Congo.
The ADF has been accused of carrying out some 1,200 killings since the Congolese army began an offensive against militia groups 14 months ago.
UN investigators say it may be guilty of crimes against humanity.
