Reuters The Democratic Republic of Congo's Army gruesomely took out the base of an Islamist rebel group, the Allied Democratic Forces, accused of killing 15 UN peacekeepers in December. But the victory comes as Congo risks sliding back into the cycle of war that killed millions at the turn of the century, as President Joseph Kabila still refuses to step down. More than 532,000 people fled their homes in just two territories along the border with Uganda in 2016 and 2017, and the UN warns the current offensive against the ADF is likely to displace nearly 370,000 more. Discarded military fatigues, boots, trash, a charred corpse inside a smoldering hut: this is all that remains of a Ugandan rebel base in the wake of what the Congolese army says was an important victory.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderSee Also:U.N.
