Dozens killed in northeast DR Congo by suspected ADF rebels

The attack occurred in the Ituri region on Saturday, officials said, as the restive region sees rise in deadly attacks.

At least 30 people were killed in a weekend attack in the restive northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, according to local and UN sources. The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebel group is suspected of carrying out the attack in the Ituri area on Saturday, they said on Monday. Dieudonne Malangayi, acting chairman of the chiefdom of Walese Vonkutu, initially said 14 people died in the attack but told AFP news agency on Monday that more bodies had since been discovered.
