Mourners gather for funeral of Florence Masika and Zakayo Masereka during their burial rituals in Mpondwe, Uganda on June 18, 2023. Florence and Zakayo have been killed near the border with the Democratic republic of Congo by fleeing assaliants who the authorities believe to belong to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a militia based in DR Congo. Grieving families prepared to bury their dead in western Uganda on Sunday while others desperately searched for loved ones still missing after militants killed dozens of students in a school attack. Officials say at least 41 people, mostly students, were massacred on Friday in the worst attack of its kind in Uganda since 2010. Victims were hacked, shot and burned in the late-night raid on Lhubiriha Secondary School in Mpondwe, which lies less than two kilometres (1.2 miles) from the border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.
