Au moins 44 civils ont été tués entre le 9 et le 12 novembre dans de nouvelles attaques attribuées aux ADF à Mambasa, en Ituri, dans l’est de la RD Congo. Le bilan atteint au moins 110 morts en une semaine dans une région déjà frappée par Ebola, selon Africa CDC, qui a condamné l’attaque de Cantine, dans le territoire de Beni.

Au moins 44 civils ont été tués entre le 9 et le 12 novembre dans le territoire de Mambasa, dans la province d’Ituri, lors d’incursions attribuées au mouvement jihadiste ADF, allié à l’organisation État islamique, rapporte RFI. Le cumul de ces attaques porte à au moins 110 le nombre de personnes tuées en une semaine par le groupe armé dans cette région en proie à une épidémie d’Ebola.

Ces tueries font suite à l’attaque menée dans la nuit du 5 au 6 novembre contre des civils à Cantine, dans le territoire de Beni, au Nord-Kivu, une zone également touchée par l’épidémie d’Ebola. Africa CDC, le Centre africain de contrôle et de prévention des maladies rattaché à l’Union africaine, a fermement condamné cette attaque attribuée aux ADF.

Ces violences s’ajoutent à une série d’attaques meurtrières dans l’est de la RDC ces dernières semaines, alors qu’Africa CDC réclamait le 8 novembre un corridor de paix à Beni pour protéger la riposte contre Ebola. Le 12 novembre, quatre civils avaient été tués dans une attaque ADF à Mabalako, au Nord-Kivu.
