 Special forces from the United States will soon deploy to the Democratic Republic of Congo's resty of East. This is to gauge the potential for a local anti-terrorism unit to combat Islamist violence. The Special Operations Forces arrived in Congo's capital, Kinshasa, on Friday. The art of conduct and assessment of a future Congolese counter-terrorism team, data collected from the Kivu security tracker, attributes much of the recent violence to the Allied Democratic Forces, ADF is an Islamist-inspired insurgency which the US officials have linked to the Islamic State. The ADF, initially from Uganda, has been blamed for dozens of massacres in the last three years. Most of these were in remote villages with hatchets and firearms. Islamist State has claimed responsibility for some of the killings, but the United Nations experts have doubted the military group's influence over ADF's operation.
