notes: On 8 May 2020, a group of artisanal palm oil producers and traders (some of them with machetes) confronted the police in Binga (Lisala, Mongala) after the latter had seized a mill from them to restrict artisanal production. The police responded with aerial firing to disperse them and shot and killed a demonstrator. As a response, the crowd torched the police station and 1 prisoner was killed by the flames.
