The incident: On the evening of June 11, four suspected LRA forces looted food and non-food items from several households in the community of Ganibuda, DR Congo. After the looting the LRA group abducted a 47-year-old man and his 2 daughters—just 11 and 13 years old. The last report we received indicates they are still being held in captivity.

We don’t yet have additional details on this mass abduction CAR or the kidnapping of the father and his two daughters in DR Congo, but Invisible Children staff in the region is investigating. We are deeply troubled that the LRA is able to continue carrying out large scale attacks on communities, devastating the livelihoods and security of so many in central Africa.
Thank your continued commitment to restoring peace to LRA-affected communities as we work together to protect civilians in CAR, DR Congo and South Sudan.
