Two months earlier, on June 7, a\u00a0massacre<\/a>\u00a0had left 80 dead, and another one on June 13 had killed 40 people. Such attacks have become all too common in recent years. The intense violence in this part of eastern DRC has been generally attributed to the Allied Democratic Forces, a Ugandan-origin rebel group that pledged allegiance to the Islamic State in 2019. As with previous massacres, none of the nearby military forces \u2013 including the Congolese army, invited Ugandan military or UN peacekeeping troops \u2013 intervened to stop the killing.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=\u00a0\u00bb0″ override_padding=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb h_padding=\u00a0\u00bb2″ top_padding=\u00a0\u00bb0″ bottom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb0″ overlay_alpha=\u00a0\u00bb100″ gutter_size=\u00a0\u00bb3″ column_width_percent=\u00a0\u00bb100″ shift_y=\u00a0\u00bb0″ z_index=\u00a0\u00bb0″ row_height_use_pixel=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column column_width_percent=\u00a0\u00bb100″ gutter_size=\u00a0\u00bb3″ overlay_alpha=\u00a0\u00bb50″ shift_x=\u00a0\u00bb0″ shift_y=\u00a0\u00bb0″ medium_width=\u00a0\u00bb0″ zoom_width=\u00a0\u00bb0″ zoom_height=\u00a0\u00bb0″ width=\u00a0\u00bb1\/6″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb182513″]UN peacekeepers patrol areas affected by attacks by M23 rebels near Rangira in North Kivu in the east of DRC on March 29, 2022 [File: Reuters\/Djaffar Sabiti][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb gutter_size=\u00a0\u00bb3″ overlay_alpha=\u00a0\u00bb50″ shift_x=\u00a0\u00bb0″ shift_y=\u00a0\u00bb0″ medium_width=\u00a0\u00bb0″ zoom_width=\u00a0\u00bb0″ zoom_height=\u00a0\u00bb0″ width=\u00a0\u00bb5\/6″][vc_single_image media=\u00a0\u00bb131803″ media_width_percent=\u00a0\u00bb100″ media_ratio=\u00a0\u00bbsixteen-nine\u00a0\u00bb media_title_uppercase=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb151398″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=\u00a0\u00bb0″ override_padding=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb h_padding=\u00a0\u00bb2″ top_padding=\u00a0\u00bb3″ bottom_padding=\u00a0\u00bb2″ overlay_alpha=\u00a0\u00bb100″ gutter_size=\u00a0\u00bb3″ column_width_percent=\u00a0\u00bb100″ shift_y=\u00a0\u00bb0″ z_index=\u00a0\u00bb0″ content_parallax=\u00a0\u00bb0″ row_height_use_pixel=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb335511″][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=\u00a0\u00bbyes\u00a0\u00bb gutter_size=\u00a0\u00bb3″ overlay_alpha=\u00a0\u00bb50″ shift_x=\u00a0\u00bb0″ shift_y=\u00a0\u00bb0″ medium_width=\u00a0\u00bb0″ zoom_width=\u00a0\u00bb0″ zoom_height=\u00a0\u00bb0″ column_width_pixel=\u00a0\u00bb800″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=\u00a0\u00bb257541″]This inaction reflects a broader politics of agony that has turned eastern DRC into a graveyard for thousands of civilians.
