notes: On 31 July 2020, local civilians barricaded the main road in Sange (Uvira, Sud-Kivu) and set tires on fire in front of the MONUSCO base in reaction to a multiple killing of civilians committed the previous night by 1 FARDC soldier. The police fired shots in the air in an attempt to disperse the crowd. The demonstrators, who chased and intimidated FARDC soldiers, demanded responsibilities to the authorities. An official delegation arrived hours later. [size=no report]
