The Allied Democratic Forces have been accused of several other killings near the city of Beni in North Kivu province. Since last October, more than 300 people, most of them are women and children, have been killed by Ugandan rebels, despite a military campaign against them by the Democratic Republic of Congo’s Army and UN Peace-keeping Forces.
