notes: On 17 September 2021, a group of Bafuliro people barricaded (through unspecified means) and burnt tires in Lemera (Uvira, Sud-Kivu) to demonstrate against a meeting, which was organized by a Bufuliro chief, to find common ground with the Banyamulenge community following the violent demonstrations of 9 September in Uvira city (coded as another event). The Bafuliro also stand against what they say is the imposition of a new Banyamulenge chief in the area. The FARDC intervened in the event to protect members of the Banyamulenge community, who were being attacked by the group. [size=no report]
