The ADF contributes to the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC (particularly in the Ituri and North Kivu provinces), in particular through violence and serious human rights abuses, including attacks against civilians, killings and abduction.
Owing to his senior leading position and various responsibilities in the ADF, Meddie Nkalubo is therefore involved in planning, directing or committing acts that constitute serious human rights violations or abuses in the DRC. He is also responsible for sustaining the armed conflict, instability and insecurity in the DRC.
Meddie Nkalubo is a senior leader of the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a non-governmental armed group operating in Uganda, Rwanda and the Eastern DRC. He has been identified as holding various responsibilities in the ADF, including communication and propaganda, recruitment, fabrication of arms, and rapprochement with ISIL (Da’esh). Meddie Nkalubo has also been identified as the leading figure in charge of the ADF’s external operations, tasked with organising and overseeing its external financing and coordinating the flow of ISIL (Da’esh) funds towards the ADF.
