Throughout the conflict, rebel troops have carried out raids and massacres across the DRC, resulting in heavy civilian casualties. In October 2021, the Allied Democratic Forces launched a bombing campaign in Uganda, leading to the intervention of the Ugandan military the year later, which has pursued a policy of airstrikes against ADF targets.[3][4][5][6][7][8] In contrast, the Islamic State has reportedly lent support to the Allied Democratic Forces.[9]
The government under Félix Tshisekedi has tried to combat the insurgency by declaring martial law, with mixed success.[10][11]
Ongoing conflict in the country has led to a humanitarian crisis, with hundreds of people killed by both sides.[12] UN convoys have been raided, leading to the murder of Italian ambassador Luca Attanasio, possibly by the FDLR.[13][14][15] The UNHCR has estimated that around 20,000 civilians have been displaced, often several times, during the attacks.[16] Many refugee camps for these displaced people have been raided by rebels, prompting condemnation from the United Nations.[17][18][19]
According to reporters, the ADF has used civilians as human shields, which is a war crime under international law.[20]
