notes: On 10 July 2021, the Makanika-Twirwaneho-Ngumino coalition (with support of the Mayi Mayi Android, Red-Tabara and FNL) attacked the FARDC for two consecutive days in the village of Minembwe (Fizi, Sud-Kivu). Sources suggest that, in Minembwe, the assailants launched an attack near the aerodrome and moved closer to the centre with bombs. In parallel, the coalition also attacked Kakenge, Molima, Lwiko and Runundu Cepac (coded as other events). Overall, 20 people were killed (15 militants and 5 FARDC soldiers) and at least 49 were injured (35 militants and 14 FARDC soldiers), although other sources claim that in Minembwe alone, 44 people died (including 25 soldiers) and 7 were wounded. The attacking coalition is suspected to be a newly-formed group known as the Federal Movement for Revolution and Democracy (MFRD). 20 fatalities spread across nine events.
