notes: On 16 October 2020, suspected FPIC militiamen, a militia which claims to defend the interests of the Bira community, attacked the Bakakinda livestock market in Irumu centre (Irumu, Ituri) and killed at least 13 civilians, mostly from the Hema ethnic. The attack is linked to ethnic-based tensions triggered by militia violence, since the FPIC is accused of complicity with CODECO.
