notes: On 27 May 2020, a group of supporters of the UDPS party barricaded and set tires of fire in some roads in Mbuji Mayi (Kasai-Oriental). The demonstrators also looted businesses, destroyed 1 police vehicle and attacked local vendors who refused to keep their activities closed. The Police fired tear gas and tried to disperse the crowd who threw stones and other objects, resulting in 30 police officers injured and around 20 demonstrators arrested. The latter were reacting to the dismissal of the national Assembly's vice-president, from the UDPS, and demanded the dissolution of the coalition between President Tshisekedi (UDPS) and his predecessor Joseph Kabila (FCC).
