notes: On 8 January 2021, a group of youths held a spontaneous demonstration against the FARDC in Lume village (Beni, Nord-Kivu). The FARDC fired shot in the air to disperse the crowd but the youths confronted the military by throwing stones and setting on fire a military vehicle. The demonstrators blamed the FARDC for arriving late after an alert of an imminent ADF attack. [size=no report]
