DRC cant' catch a break
At least 42 people were killed in an attack in the eastern region of the Democratic Republic of Congo, with Islamist rebels being the likely culprits.
The attack on the village of Mayikengo in Lubero territory in the eastern North Kivu province took place on Wednesday.
Last week, over 80 were killed in suspected Islamist rebel attacks on villages in the east.
What do we know about the latest attack?
Lubero administrator Alain Kiwewa Mitela blamed the attack on the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), speaking to both the Reuters and AFP news agencies. The rebel group, an Islamic State affiliate, started as a Ugandan insurgency. It has operated from eastern Congo for nearly three decade
