Bunia, DR Congo: Forty-eight pygmies have been massacred by the notorious Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) militia in the eastern DR Congo province of Atori, local sources said on Friday.
“ADF rebels will take control of Abbi village on Thursday,” said Gali Gotabu, a local NGO leader. “Sixty-six people were killed and two were injured, all from the Pygmy community,” he said. The province’s interior minister, Adjio Gigi, confirmed the incident and blamed the ADF, which has been blamed for hundreds of deaths in the past year.
