separatists in the east. and we report from a border area in afghanistan where thousands of people continue to leave after the taliban take hope. uganda is deploying soldiers across the border in to democratic republic of congo as it battles an armed group. there. this follows air strikes against the allied democratic forces on tuesday as part of a joint operation with the con belize army. the army group is based in eastern congo. it's said to have links to isis gander, blames it for 3 bomb attacks and the capital can parlor. earlier this month, you can't and troops entered d r. c at the nobility crossing and north keepers states. it is a forested area, which makes it difficult to get through. it's here, the adf has its high doubts and hidden bases. let's talk life not to malcolm webb has fallen, developments force out of my ruby. clearly malcolm, a very fluid situation on the ground. what do we know when you got a minute? she said they started with air strikes in artillery fire. and tuesday afternoon, there were soldiers crossing on foot infantry into east in congo with her just a short while ago that military vehicles of also across the border. but what we do know about the adf and his past tactics is that each time he's been attacked by a military, often the congolese military is, i typically ambushed them the victim quite bloody losses on the part of the congolese army. and then also tanzanian nav peacekeepers fighting with blue helmets in the past. and they tried to take on this armed group and any idea or so typically responds by massacring unprotected civilians in villages. or that's been going on for about 7 years around the town of benny. more recently towards the north as well in a tory province and have been hundreds of death, possibly thousands in the last few years. because of these are brutal attacks targeting civilians. this group, malcolm kind of signals that it's aligned to ice. so how close is that alignment? do me think and ultimately, what do they want? will she speak to people who were observing this conflict? there were very much to tampa. there's one that emphasizes these international connections to ins are also to, i'll show bob in somalia. there have been some report till rumors have connections and to the arm. google's have known by the same name but not, not necessarily connected in northern mozambique, also called al chabarise. so on the one hand, some people are saying that these links have very significant other analysts to saying that actually it's more important or better to understand this conflict, to be focus on the local, commercial and political interest. and the abs does have substantial interest in that part of the thing forego in cocoa. and of course, controlling poor areas allows you ever control them, whether you've gotten to military or the adf. for the con, release government, there's money to be made on board. of course, vast minimal wealth across a think, congo a lot about going out in the navy through his navies, through, under and uganda to the east. so there's definitely among other things, there was from key commercial interest at stake, malcolm. thank you malcolm, where
