It is a sad start to the year 2022 for the populations of southern Irumu (Ituri) territory, still facing the activism of the fighters of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF). At least 17 civilians were killed from January 1 to 3 in the villages of Israel and Liyehi, more than 30 km from the city of Komanda center in the Walese Vonkutu Chiefdom.
