notes: On 25 May 2020, a group of local civilians barricaded some roads, threw stones and vandalized 2 Police stations in the Katoyi, Majengo and Maendeleo districts of Goma (Nord-Kivu). The assailants rallied against the rising inflation and the devaluation of the Congolese currency prompted by the restrictions of the coronavirus pandemic. The Police intervened and shot tear gas to disperse the demonstrators. No fatalities and/or injuries reported. [size=no report]
