At least 70 people, including nine soldiers and a soldier's wife, were tragically killed in a recent attack on the village of Kinsele in western Democratic Republic of Congo. The attack, carried out by armed men believed to be members of the Mobondo militia, occurred around 100 kilometers east of the capital city, Kinshasa.
The village of Kinsele is situated in the Kwamouth territory, where a longstanding conflict between the Teke and Yaka communities has resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians over the past two years. The Mobondo militia, claiming to defend the Yaka people, launched the attack on Kinsele, leading to a devastating loss of lives.
