notes: On 1 May 2021, an unidentified armed man shot and killed the President of the Congo Islamic Community, COMICO, in the city of Beni (Beni, Nord-Kivu) when the victim was praying at the central mosque. Some members of civil society have attributed the attack to the ADF in the light of its criticisms of the group's activities. Other sources suggest that the attack was carried out by a group called Unity Ground Destruction.
