A girl greets Uruguayan peacekeepers from MONUSCO (The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo) who patrol in Fataki on National Route 27 in Ituri province, northeastern Democratic Republic of Congo on September 14, 2020. Along this road, villages and vehicles have been targeted by recurring armed attacks by militiamen. Since the end of 2017, the conflict in Ituri has resulted in several hundred deaths and more than one and a half million displaced persons. Most of the massacres are attributed to armed militias belonging to the Lendu community and claiming to defend themselves against the Congolese army and the Hema community.
