Islamic State Central Africa Province’s (ISCAP) branch in the Democratic Republic of Congo has killed at least 30 civilians in the Rwenzori sector in the last five days in an onslaught that has forced at least 20,000 people to flee.
According to provisional intelligence, the terrorists have been attacking villages and following the escapees as they flee into the forest and mountainous region and carrying out further massacres. ISCAP has been gaining territories in the North Kivu and Ituri Provinces and has been conducting attacks against the civilian populace.
Local authorities confirmed the army has been deployed to the region. Last week, the group committed a similar massacre that killed at least 12 people in the nearby village of Mabule in the Rwenzori sector.
