notes: On May 26, a clash broke out between miners and security forces in Banalia. The artisanal miners were informed that they had to pay an institutional tax in order to exploit the resources and were obliged by the forces to do so, which they refused. What ensued was a coleric mob trying to break through the police barrier that prevented the access to the mines. One miner was injured.
