“At least 20 bodies found in Congo mass grave, ISIS-linked rebels suspected,” Associated Press, May 8, 2023:
The remains of at least 20 people were found buried in a mass grave in an area used to cultivate cacao in Ndoma village in Congo’s North Kivu province this weekend, according to local authorities and a military spokesperson.
A team of forensic and security officers exhumed the bodies after residents of villages in Beni territory found bones and clothing and alerted officials.
He confirmed that bones of at least 20 people were found, but that it wasn’t possible to search further because of a lack of security in the region. It wasn’t immediately clear how long the bodies had been there.
The rebels are accused by the U.N. and rights groups of targeting, maiming, raping and abducting civilians, including children. Capt. Anthony Mwalushayi, regional spokesperson for the Congolese army said the area had been an ADF stronghold.
“There are innocent people who have been buried here. This is really a mass grave, ” he said, but noted that among the bones that were found, there were military insignias.
