- Ituri -

Northeastern Ituri 州, which accounts for around half of the deaths, was the theatre of a 衝突 between 1999 and 2003 の中で 民兵s from the Lendu 民族の group, a predominantly farming community, and the Hema, made up of 仲買人s and herders.

In 1995, it crossed the 国境 into DR Congo, which became its base, and it has not carried out any known attacks in Uganda for years.

Since October 2014, the ADF has been 非難するd for more than 1,000 deaths in the Beni 地域 alone.
