notes: On 24 July 2021, a group of students clashed against the police in the city of Kinshasa (Kinshasa, Kinshasa). Some sources suggest the clash was triggered after the police detained a teacher/assistant teacher who failed to provide a permit for the shooting of a university film, while others claim it was due to a student's lack of compliance with coronavirus-mask-usage regulations. In response, the students threw projectiles at the police. The police fired a shot in the air and hit one of the students in the stomach, who succumbed to his injuries at the scene. [size=no report]
