The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), linked to the Islamic State, conducted multiple brutal attacks in North Kivu's Lubero territory resulting in 89 civilian deaths, as reported by MONUSCO. The attacks targeted several communities and included killing women seeking maternity care at a Catholic Church-run health center in Byambwe and razing patient wards. The Congolese army struggles with logistics and manpower shortages while the UN calls for independent investigations and international mediation aims to stabilize the region and support Western investments in Congo's mining industry.
