actor2: Civilians (Democratic Republic of Congo)
location: Lubumbashi
notes: On 4 September 2021, a group of people (presumably of the UNAFEC political party) stoned and looted several shops in the city of Lubumbashi (Lubumbashi, Haut-Katanga). Sources suggest the rioters gathered at the scene to pay respect to the family of the party's leader, who had recently passed away in Angola. They also wanted to check whether the corps that was found at the morgue was that of the abovementioned leader. The PNC detained over 40-49 people. Other sources suggest the rioters were not part of the UNAFEC, but people who infiltrated to damage the image of the party. [size=no report]
