notes: On 20 May 2021, thousands of people looted shops belonging to civilians of the Nande ethnic group in the town of Ariwara (Aru, Ituri), following the discovery of a merchant's decapitated body in the outskirts of the town. Reports suggest that the group brought the body outside the PNC's office. In return, the PNC and the FARDC fired shots in the air to disperse the group. A member of the Nande community is claimed to have been implicated in the merchant's killing. [size=thousands]
