DR Congo: ISIS-Linked Attack Kills Over 40; Uganda "Captures" Ituri Town | Firstpost Africa | N18G

A deadly ISIS-linked attack in northeastern DR Congo has killed at least 43 people, shattering a period of calm in the region. The assault, carried out by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), targeted worshippers at a Catholic church in Ituri province. Uganda and DRC had launched a joint military operation in 2021 to defeat the group, but its threat persists. Meanwhile, Uganda's growing military presence and alleged support for other rebel groups—like M23—are raising serious concerns about its true intentions. Is Kampala fighting terror—or pursuing regional influence and resources? This report investigates the conflict’s complex layers and rising civilian toll.
