The United States is offering a reward of up to $5m (£4.1m) (Ksh 638,999,744)for information that helps capture the leader of a rebel group in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo which has ties to the Islamic State group.
The US State Department said under the command of Seka Musa Baluku, the Allied Democratic Forces had killed, maimed, raped and abducted civilians including children.
The ADF leader is originally from Uganda, where the group first carried out attacks in the 1990s.
In 2021 the US labelled the ADF a terrorist organization. It is one of dozens of armed groups active in eastern DR Congo.
