Residents of Ntoyo, a village in DR Congo's perennially volatile east, were preparing for a funeral on Monday when a column of armed men emerged from the forest and slaughtered 71 people, burning some of them alive.
"There were very young soldiers in the group," said 16-year-old Jean-Claude Mumbere, who survived the massacre by ADF (Allied Democratic Forces) rebels, an armed group that has pledged allegiance to Islamic State and mainly targets civilians.
