notes: On 22 January 2021, a group of residents demonstrated in Chani-Chani village, near Mbau (Beni, Nord-Kivu), in reaction to the killing of 2 civilians the previous day. They barricaded the road and set part of the village chief's house ablaze, who they blamed for not having done anything to arrest the perpetrator (one alleged FARDC soldier). The FARDC intervened and fired shots in the air in an attempt to disperse the crowd. [size=no report]
