notes: On 7 April 2021, around 40 people (including LUCHA and Antigang activists) gathered in Butembo (Lubero, Nord-Kivu) to protest against the recrudescence of ADF attacks in the region and to demand the departure of the MONUSCO, who they accuse of mishandling the security situation in the Eastern part of the country. The protesters had allegedly been detained the previous day for violating the country's coronavirus curfew regulations. Other reports suggest that over 45 people were detained by the FARDC.
