notes: Security measures: On 3 May 2021, the President of DRC issued a decree in Kinshasa - Gombe (Kinshasa, Kinshasa) to replace the civilian-led governments of Nord-Kivu and Ituri with a military-led governance structure, following a 'State of Siege' declaration made on 30 April in the two provinces. The new security measures come amid a recrudescence of rebel attacks in the eastern part of the country and increased civil society movements demanding a solution to the security situation. The decree took effect on 6 May and has been extended every fifteen days by legislative assembly.
