Ituri: Armed Attacks by ADF Compromise School Start in Several Localities in Mambasa

The 2026-2027 school year began on September 1 in the DRC, but many children in Mambasa may not return to class due to ADF attacks. The APDEF reports that insecurity is causing population displacements and the occupation of schools by displaced families. Ram's Malikidogo, head of APDEF, emphasizes that insecurity deprives families of their livelihoods, thus jeopardizing children's education.
