TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Camille LAFFONT and Seros MUYISA
Sheikh Issa Karamaya, 34, Imam in charge of administration and socio-cultural development at the Jamia Mupanda mosque, washes his hands in the ablutions room reserved for men at the mosque in Beni, North-Kivu, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, on December 13, 2024. Since the end of 2021, Uganda has deployed troops in the north-east of the DRC, in the Beni region and in Ituri, officially to help the Congolese army fight the ADF (Allied Democratic Forces) rebels affiliated to the Islamic State (ISIS). This operation, dubbed ‘Shujaa’, succeeded in bringing a semblance of peace to the area around Beni as far as the Ugandan border, but it dispersed the ADF into isolated areas where they continue to carry out bloody attacks on civilians. In the areas secured by the UPDF, the local population appreciates the return of peace, but wonders about the real intentions of Kampala, whose cohabitation with Congolese civilians and soldiers is causing tensions.
