notes: On 17 June 2021, a group of Banyamulenge women marched in the streets of Bukavu (Bukavu, Sud-Kivu) to protest against what they say is the arbitrary arrest of a couple with a baby by the FARDC, which took place in Minembwe on June 12. Some sources suggest that the said couple was part of the Makanika armed group. They also demanded an end to acts of violence, murder and looting against the Banyamulenge communities and a commission of inquiry/accountability to address human rights violations. [size=no report]
