MONUSCO called on the Congolese government to investigate the perpetrators of these atrocities, stating: “National authorities should establish an independent mechanism to investigate these crimes so that the perpetrators are identified and brought to justice.”
These killings come just weeks after the ADF claimed responsibility for attacks it carried out in September 2025 that killed 60 people. Various reports continue to show that the ADF remains one of the deadliest armed groups targeting civilians in the DRC, killing its victims with guns, traditional weapons, and by burning homes.
