notes: On 3 February 2021, riots broke out in Gedaref (Gedaref state), reportedly after bus drivers 'unofficially' raised prices. Shops were looted and property was vandalized. The local Resistance Committee has claimed that the riots were orchestrated by members of the former regime, with complicity of the police (who did not intervene), although this is not confirmed at this time.
