Guardian staff reporter
Summary
Rebel attacks by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), an Islamic State-linked militia, around the city of Beni in eastern DRC have killed over 30 people in recent days. The violence is complicating the Ebola response in the region, which is one of the centers of the outbreak. At least 10 people were massacred in raids on three villages early Wednesday morning. The governor also reported that three Ebola patients fled from treatment clinics, further hampering containment efforts.
