One person has been reported killed and 17 more kidnapped in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo late Monday in an attack by a notorious Ugandan militia accused of a massacre in a regional city two days earlier.
The new attack took place in the town of Oicha, after 21 people were reportedly killed around 30 kilometres, 18 miles south of Beni on Saturday by men wielding machetes and firing guns. AFP reported that the authorities have blamed both attacks on the Allied Democratic Forces, a militia rooted in Ugandan Islamism that has killed hundreds of people in North Kivu province since 2014.
In addition to the deaths and abductions in Ocha, four houses were burned down and chickens and goats taken away, Local Administrator Donat Kibwana told AFP.
