notes: On 9 September 2021, young people of the Bavira ethnic group barricaded roads and burnt tires along the RN5 road in Uvira (Uvira, Sud-Kivu) to demonstrate against the installation of a groupment leader in Bijombo. Sources suggest the said leader may be from the Banyamulenge community. Acts of vandalism and burning of property were also committed against a Banyamulenge Church. The PNC dispersed the group by firing shots in the air. [size=no report]
