??#DRC: We are extremely concerned by recurring incidents of deadly ethnically-motivated attacks on internally displaced people\u2019s camps by armed groups in the east. We call on authorities to urgently strengthen the protection of all civilians: https:\/\/t.co\/mmODyugI3I pic.twitter.com\/OaeTr0tbha<\/p>\n

\u2014 UN Human Rights (@UNHumanRights) February 8, 2022 She said OHCHR is extremely concerned by recurring incidents of deadly ethnically motivated assaults on camps in eastern DRC.<\/p>\n

Wave of attacks<\/b><\/p>\n

The most recent occurred last week when the armed group Cooperative for the Development of Congo (CODECO), an association of various Lendu militia, killed some 62 people at the Plaine Savo site in Ituri province.<\/p>\n

The victims, all members of the Hema ethnic community, were either shot or attacked with machetes and knives. OHCHR said this was the latest in a string of CODECO raids in Ituri province, where tensions between the Hema and Lendu communities have existed for years.<\/p>\n

The group attacked four other sites between 19 and 28 November last year, including the village of Drodro. At least 58 people from the Hema community were killed, with at least nine women and four children among the victims.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn total, we documented 10 attacks on IDP sites in 2021 in Ituri, North Kivu and South Kivu, in which at least 106 people were killed, 16 injured and at least seven women subjected to acts of sexual violence,\u201d Ms. Throssell said.<\/p>\n

Fears of retaliation<\/b><\/p>\n

In addition to concerns that other IDP sites could be attacked, particularly Loda and Djaiba which are located close to Plaine Savo and host members of the Hema community, OHCHR warned of the grave risk of retaliation by the Ituri Self-Defense Popular Front (FPAC-Zaire) armed group, mainly composed of members of the Hema community.<\/p>\n

Ms. Throssell reported that the Congolese military authorities have launched a preliminary investigation into the Plaine Savo attack. The UN Mission in the country, MONUSCO, also stands ready to provide technical and logistical support for these investigations and any potential prosecutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the Government to guarantee victims\u2019 access to remedy by ensuring that these investigations are independent, effective and transparent, and to also investigate other attacks on IDP camps and to ensure that those responsible are brought to justice,\u201d she said.
