An attack by the dreaded ADF Militia in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo has left six dead and 24 persons kidnapped.

The attack happened on Saturday in Beni, North Kivu Province of the East African country.

Not less than 24 civilians were abducted in the course of the attack, including a reporter with a local radio station in the region.

The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) is responsible for the slaughtering of at least 800 civilians in the province which is bordered by Uganda.

ADF has been listed by the ICC as a group committing war crimes against innocent civilians. The group is currently being investigated.

The ADF originated in the 1990s as a rebel group from Uganda and has dealt horror on innocent civilians for decades.
