DR Congo: Islamic state-linked ADF blamed for carnage

Close to 120 civilians were killed over a fortnight, across the troubled province of North Kivu in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Reportedly, Islamic State-linked Allied Democratic forces are to be blamed for the recent spate of attacks. ADF has been present in Democratic Republic of Congo for three decades and frequently carries out attacks in the provinces of North Kivu and Ituri against the Congolese army and villagers. The central African nation, rich in valuable mineral resources, has been plagued by 120 rebel groups in its east, fighting with National armed forces for power, land & mineral resources. The violence has uprooted nearly 7 million people, with aid inaccessible to many of them. Jyotsna Kumar brings you the details.
