notes: On 6 May 2021, a group of people in possession of machetes, spears, and knives, erected barricades in the Majengo neighborhood of Goma (Goma, Nord-Kivu) and in Buhene-Kihisi (Nyiragongo, Nord-Kivu) to demonstrate against the state of siege imposed by the Congolese government in North Kivu and Ituri, which took effect on the same day. The police dispersed the group with tear gas. Some reports suggest that this group was part of the Mayi Mayi. [size=no report]
