{UAH} New insights on Congo’s Islamist rebels - The Washington Post

Yet one Islamist group in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC or Congo) – the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – has received very little international attention despite an atrocious, 20-year history of human rights abuses. The ADF, which was founded in 1995 by Ugandan exiles in Congo with the aim of overthrowing Uganda's government, does not widely publicize its attacks on civilians. Nonetheless, the people of DRC and Uganda are all too familiar with ADF's modus operandi: kidnapping and enslaving women and children, human trafficking, forced conversion, forced marriage, torture, summary execution, attacking hospitals, and using child soldiers.
