与“伊斯兰国”有关联的民主同盟军武装分子袭击了刚果（金）东部八个社区，造成至少22人死亡，并绑架了10人。这场暴力事件可能削弱安全行动以及遏制伊图里省埃博拉疫情的努力。
Islamic State-linked ADF militants attacked eight communities in eastern Congo, killing at least 22 people and abducting 10. The violence could undermine security operations and efforts to contain Ituri's Ebola outbreak.
民间社会团体周三表示，一个与“伊斯兰国”有关联的反叛组织在两天内对刚果（金）与乌干达边境附近的偏远社区发动袭击，造成至少22人死亡，另有10人被绑架。
At least 22 people were killed and 10 others abducted after a rebel group affiliated with the Islamic State launched attacks on remote communities near Congo's border with Uganda over two days, civil society groups said on Wednesday.
民主同盟军在伊图里省东部曼巴萨地区的八个地点实施了这些袭击。当地政府表示，军方正在努力遏制该组织的活动，而暴力事件也威胁到遏制该省埃博拉疫情的努力。
The Allied Democratic Forces carried out the attacks across eight locations in Mambasa territory in the eastern Ituri province. Local authorities said the military was working to curb the group's activities, while the violence also threatened efforts to contain an Ebola outbreak in the province.
曼巴萨地区刚果民间社会协调员玛丽-诺埃尔·阿纳托贝表示，伤亡人数可能还会上升。她说：“死亡人数仍是暂定的。除了22名平民被杀外，行凶者还绑架了其他人，摩托车和房屋被纵火焚烧。”这些袭击发生在边境附近难以进入的地区。
Marie-Noelle Anatobe, coordinator of the Civil Society of Congo in Mambasa territory, said the number of casualties could rise. "The death toll remains provisional. In addition to the 22 civilians killed, the perpetrators abducted other individuals, and motorcycles and homes were set on fire," she said.
曼巴萨副行政长官马克西姆·齐希辛比上校表示，正在努力打击该组织。他告诉美联社：“尽管面临挑战，我们仍在不断努力并采取行动寻找解决办法。”
The attacks took place in areas that are difficult to access near the border. Col Maxime Tshishimbi, the deputy administrator of Mambasa, said efforts were under way to tackle the group.
这些袭击可能阻碍遏制伊图里省致命埃博拉疫情的努力。伊图里省是刚果（金）历史上最致命此类疫情的中心。迄今为止，疫情已感染超过1.1万人，造成5000多人死亡。
"Despite the challenges, constant efforts and actions are being taken to find a solution," he told The Associated Press. The attacks could hinder efforts to contain the deadly Ebola outbreak in Ituri, the centre of the deadliest such outbreak in Congo's history. The outbreak has infected more than 11,000 people and killed over 5,000 so far.
民主同盟军起源于乌干达，后被推向与刚果（金）的边境，多年来一直在那里活动并以平民为目标。该组织于2019年宣誓效忠“伊斯兰国”组织。
The Allied Democratic Forces originated in Uganda before being pushed towards the border with Congo, where it has operated for years and targeted civilians. It pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group in 2019.
乌干达和刚果军队曾联合对该组织采取行动，但一直难以取得进展。居民常说，袭击发生时军队并不在场。
The Ugandan and Congolese armies have jointly carried out operations against the group but have struggled to make progress. Residents often say the military is absent when attacks take place.
去年，该组织在伊图里省伊鲁穆地区杀害了数十人，联合国称这些袭击是一场“血洗”。
Last year, the group killed dozens of people in Irumu territory in Ituri province in attacks that the United Nations described as a "bloodbath".
“今天上午，我们只能清点死者。这实在令人痛心，”曼巴萨地区保护与捍卫弱势儿童和妇女协会协调员拉姆斯·马利基多戈说。
"This morning, we were left only to count the dead.
最新的暴力事件造成至少22人死亡，还有人被绑架，财产被毁。与此同时，安全部队继续对该组织采取行动，卫生工作者则努力控制埃博拉疫情。
It is truly deplorable," said Rams Malikidogo, a coordinator of the Association for the Protection and Defense of Vulnerable Children and Women in Mambasa territory. The latest violence left at least 22 people dead, others abducted and property destroyed, as security forces continued operations against the group and health workers sought to contain the Ebola outbreak.
