The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebels have intensified meetings with farmers in several localities of the Babila-Babombi chiefdom in the Mambasa territory (Ituri).According to the Convention for the Respect of Human Rights (CRDH), the enemy is demanding payment in tokens coupled with conversion to Islam.
“After Elake on Wednesday, November 5, ADF rebels continued their campaign twenty-four hours later in the localities of Lisome and Matolo, preaching Islamic ideology and thus requiring the population to convert to Islam,” stated Rams Malikidogo, secretary of this human rights defense organization.
The CRDH is calling on the relevant authorities to launch urgent offensives against these illegal armed groups. In the face of this security challenge, farmers are urged to exercise heightened vigilance.
“We call on farmers to be vigilant. To facilitate the hunt for the enemy, farmers should give the army time by leaving their fields,” he requested. Attacks by the ADF rebels have intensified against the peaceful population of the Irumu and Mambasa territories. In the Walese-Vonkutu chiefdom, on Friday, November 7, 2025, a young man was injured along with several others during an ADF rebel attack.
