 Special forces from the United States will soon deploy the Democratic Republic of Congo's aggressive east, and this is to go watch the potential for a local anti-terrorism unit to combat Islamist violence. The special operations forces arrived in Congo's capital, King Shasharan Friday, and they are to conduct an assessment of a future Congolese counter-terrorism team. Data collected by the Kiva Security Tracker attributes more of the recent violence to the Allied Democratic Forces. ADF is an Islamist-inspired insurgency which US officials have linked to Islamic State. The ADF initially from Uganda has been blamed for dozens of massacres in the last three years, and most of these were in remote villages that with hatchets and fire arms. Islamic State has claimed responsibility for some of the killings, but United Nations experts have doubted the militant group's influence over ADF operation.
