In a daring operation, soldiers have successfully rescued a group of civilian captives held by the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a notorious rebel group linked to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIL, also known as ISIS). The ADF has been carrying out brutal attacks and kidnappings in the Democratic Republic of Congo, targeting innocent civilians and displacing thousands. The rescue operation is a significant blow to the ADF's grip on the region, and it is hoped that it will bring relief to the families of those held captive. Details of the rescue, including the number of captives freed and the circumstances of the operation, are emerging and are expected to be released in the coming hours.
