actor2: CODECO-URDPC: Cooperative for Development of Congo (Union of Revolutionaries for the Defense of the Congolese People)
location: Kilo
notes: Around 13 August 2021 (between 12 August - 15 August), the FARDC clashed against the CODECO-URDPC near Kilo (Djugu, Ituri), either in Lisey or Itendey/Itendeyi. The clashes were triggered after the armed group abducted 3 Chinese nationals (who were extracting gold in a mining site), looted goods and burnt down houses, including a hospital. While some sources suggest that one of the Chinese nationals was killed, others point out that three bodies (presumed to be of the victims) were found dead, while other sources suggest the fatality number is still unknown. Community displacements were triggered.
