Civilians were the target of a new attack in the province of Ituri in the east of the country this Monday, February 5. The toll put forward by civil society is at least 18 dead, mainly villagers who were going to their fields.

This new massacre in the DRC was attributed to the ADF-Nalu, an armed group operating in the region. The latest massacre took place in several small isolated villages, a three-hour walk from the road linking Mambasa to Beni.
