notes: On 10 September 2021, a group of people (presumably affiliated to Veranda Mutsanga) burnt and killed a presumed thief, whom they said was armed, and set ablaze a local government office in Beni town (Beni, Nord-Kivu). This incident triggered a wider demonstration on the same day, whereby rioters of the Veranda Mutsanga clashed with PNC officers (coded as another event). The victim's genitals were reportedly cut off. Subsequent reports suggest that Veranda Mutsanga denied its role in the killing and demonstrations. [size=no report]
