Eight slaughtered, 20 missing in DR Congo

At least eight people have been slaughtered by miscreants and many others have been reported missing in the eastern Democratic of the Congo (DRC), police said on Friday.

Police chief in Mangina in the Beni region Major Losendjola Morisho said that Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) ghters "slit the throats of eight peo in broad daylight. Thankfully, our intervention prevented a worse toll".

"About another 20 others are also missing in the area," said Morisho, adding, "We don't know if they have been killed, taken hostage or ed the are searching for them."

It was the latest killing blamed on rebel ghters in the Beni region, where hundreds have died in violence since November. DR Congo's east has b months of attacks and massacres blamed on the ADF, which is the target of a military offensive.

In last month, 36 civilians were killed in an attack in Oicha, also in Beni, in what activists say was part of the militia group's revenge attacks on ci the army campaign.

The ADF, blamed for the deaths of more than a thousand civilians in Beni since October 2014, began as a rebel group in Uganda that opposed President Yoweri Museveni.

It fell back into eastern DRC in 1995 during the Congo Wars and appears to have halted raids inside Uganda. Its recruits today are people o nationalities.
