Seventy bodies were discovered beheaded and bound in a church in an abandoned village in eastern DR Congo, believed to be victims of the violent Allied Defence Forces (ADF) rebels.
A chilling discovery has been made in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as at least 70 bodies were found tied up and beheaded inside a church in the abandoned village of Kasanga. The victims, believed to have been held hostage for several days, were discovered on Friday, following an attack by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a rebel group linked to ISIS.
The bodies were located in a Protestant church where the local population had sought refuge before fleeing repeated assaults. According to Vianney Vitswamba, the head of the local community protection committee, the victims were found near Mayba, a locality affected by ongoing conflict. Many had been held captive by the ADF, which has terrorized the region and is considered one of the deadliest groups operating in the area.
As the ADF continues its reign of terror in the region, people in surrounding areas have been forced to leave their homes, seeking safety in nearby villages. While the M23 group has historically been viewed as the largest threat, the ADF's increasing brutality has raised significant concerns over the humanitarian crisis in the DRC.
The discovery adds to the growing list of atrocities committed by the ADF, which has left thousands of innocent civilians in its wake. International attention on the group’s activities is mounting as the situation in eastern DRC deteriorates, with the bodies found in Kasanga serving as a tragic reminder of the region’s ongoing struggle with extremist violence and instability.
