notes: On 28 October 2020, suspected armed Nyatura men from the CMC group killed 8 civilians with weapons and machetes in Katoro village (Rutshuru, Nord-Kivu). 6 of the victims were from the same family, including the parents and their 4 children, and 2 others were neighbors. 2 other civilians were injured. All the victims were Nande. The attack was linked to increasing ethnic tensions between Hutus and Nandes, exacerbated by recent clashes between self-defense militias in the nearby Kiwanja city.
