Three days after more than 20 civilians were massacred at Biakato, another ADF attack in Makumo, Ituri Province, DRC, on May 10 created fear among the Christian majority. “In our villages, it is no longer water that flows, it is blood,” said Omba Hemedi, a young leader from Mambasa. “They kill us like animals, almost every day, under the brutality of the ADF. Our lands are no longer places of life; they are now open‑air cemeteries. Yesterday, we were mourning in Biakato. Today, we are collecting bodies in Makumo. And tomorrow, where will it be? We are overwhelmed.”
