Ten civilians were killed in the village of Kamango, a day after 22 were murdered in Ntombi, Donat Kibuana, administrator for the territory of Beni, told AFP on Monday.
BENI - Ten people were killed overnight Sunday in eastern DR Congo, where massacres of civilians by a rebel group have sparked protests against UN peacekeepers, local officials said.
"The ADF burst into Kamango at nightfall. They killed civilians with machetes and guns. So far, we have recovered 10 bodies. There are also nine injured."Faustin Basweki, who heads an association for young people in Kamango, said he had witnessed the massacre. The ADF -- a militia whose historical roots lie in Uganda and jihadism -- has been active in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo since the Congo Wars of the 1990s.
