notes: On 27 December 2020, a group of youths blocked a joint patrol of the FARDC, the police and the MONUSCO, to prevent them from heading to the Rwangoma district of Beni town (Beni, Nord-Kivu). Despite the warning shots in the air fired by the security forces to make a way through, the group confronted them, resulting in an army jeep vandalized and a police motorcycle burned. The security forces arrested 10 people. The youths accused the security forces of inaction and of being complicit in the insecurity in Beni. [size=no report]
