According to the Agence France-Presse (AFP) citing information from activists in the region, the massacres of civilians in the villages of Lindube, Kisanga and Matuna were attributed to members of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a jihadist group that has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.
The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) are one of the armed groups ravaging the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo and have been blamed for a barrage of deadly attacks that have mostly killed civilians. They were formed by mostly Muslim Ugandan rebels who settled in DR Congo in the 1990s. In 2019, the ADF pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, which claimed responsibility for many actions of the group it presents as an offshoot “Islamic State in the Central Africa Province” (Islamic State in the Central Africa Province – ISCAP).
