Congolese soldiers pass by the main mosque in Beni on May 24, 2021. - Since October 2014, the armed group Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), originally from Uganda and claiming to be a branch of the Islamic State organization, has been responsible for the deaths of several thousand civilians in the Beni region. In March 2021, the U.S. State Department listed the ADF as an international terrorist organization affiliated with ISIS, and designated it as ISIS-DRC. In May 2021, two prominent Muslim community leaders in Beni territory, known to be strong opponents of the ADF, were murdered in circumstances that remain unclear. (Photo by ALEXIS HUGUET / AFP)
