Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Armed groups have killed seven civilians and three members of the security forces in eastern DR Congo, where a clinic was set ablaze, local sources said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Two soldiers at Butembo, about 50 kilometres (30 miles) from Beni in North Kivu province, were killed by “Mai-mai militiamen,” said Colonel Donat Mandonga, the chief administrative official in neighbouring Lubero district.<\/p>\n

A policeman and four militiamen were also killed in the fighting, said Captain Anthony Mualushayi, the army’s spokesman in the Beni region.<\/p>\n

The term “Mai-mai’ is widely used to describe armed groups claiming to represent communities in the region’s many ethnic feuds.<\/p>\n

Separately, the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) on Wednesday killed four women and three men as they worked in fields near the Ugandan border, Ricardo Rupande, a community organiser in Rwenzori, told AFP.<\/p>\n

The ADF is a group that the self-described Islamic State group says is an affiliate.<\/p>\n

The same night, ADF members set fire to a medical centre in the village of Luonoli, “reducing it to ashes,” Luonoli village chief Semu Kiheka told AFP, adding that local people fled after the attack.<\/p>\n

The ADF is the most violent of more than 120 armed groups that roam eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, according to monitors.<\/p>\n

The group is accused of killing thousands of people in a years-long campaign in the region, and of orchestrating recent attacks in the Ugandan capital Kampala.<\/p>\n

On November 30, Ugandan troops began to deploy across the border, joining Congolese troops in a crackdown on the ADF in the Beni region.<\/p>\n
