ISIS-linked militants kill 10 in Uganda’s Kamwenge district

At least 10 people have been killed in Uganda’s western district of Kamwenge by militants with ties to the Islamic State group, confirmed the East African nation’s military on Tuesday.

The Allied Democratic Forces militants launched the attack early Tuesday morning after crossing from neighboring Congo the month prior, and were subsequently being pursued by the military.

The ADF is a group established in the early 1990s by Ugandan Muslims who felt marginalized by the policies of President Yoweri Museveni, who has been in power since 1986.
