notes: Around 30 September 2021 (as reported), 5 decapitated/buried bodies, who were killed by an unidentified armed group, were discovered in Ariwara (Aru, Ituri). One of the victims was a radio host and another one a mechanic. Several weeks earlier (date unknown) a police officer was killed by the same group and was buried in this location (coded as another event). Suspects were detained and admitted to killing 13 people - it is unclear whether the 6 victims mentioned above are part of the 13 killings, when they were killed, or whether the rest of the killings took place in Ituri province.
