Attack by ISIS terrorists in Congo: Terrorists associated with the Islamic State group (ISIS) have carried out a major attack in north-eastern Congo. 16 villagers have died in this attack. Along with this, the terrorists have also kidnapped 20 other people. This created panic in the entire village. A local civil society group gave this information on Friday. John Wulwerio, coordinator of the New Civil Society of Congo, said that attackers of the Allied Democratic Forces attacked the local people in the Mombasa region of Ituri province between Wednesday and Friday when they were working in their fields.

The death toll is still unclear, as the whereabouts of the 20 other people kidnapped remain unknown. He indicated that the death toll could rise as the attack was described as deadly and many of them were seriously injured. Local media reported that those kidnapped included the mother and sister of Gilbert Shivamwenda, a local government official. Many villages in Congo have been besieged by local rebels or extremist terrorist groups fighting for power and valuable mineral resources.
