Une nouvelle attaque attribuée aux rebelles ADF, liés à l'État islamique, a fait au moins 43 morts dans le village de Bafwakao, territoire de Mambasa, en Ituri, République démocratique du Congo. L'attaque a eu lieu dans la nuit de mercredi à jeudi, le 2 avril 2026. Les assaillants ont incendié des maisons et tué des villageois, certains à la machette ou par balles. L'administration locale et la société civile divergent sur le moment de l'intervention de l'armée congolaise (FARDC), la société civile affirmant qu'elle est arrivée après l'attaque. C'est la première fois que Bafwakao est attaqué par les ADF, suscitant l'inquiétude face à la multiplication des incursions dans la région depuis début mars.
