notes: On 19 April 2021, a group of people erected barricades across the city of Beni (Beni, Nord-Kivu) to demand the departure of the MONUSCO, whom they accuse of inaction in the face of increasing ADF attacks in the region. Reports also suggest that the group threatened local shops that attempted to open their businesses against the group's call for the city's shut-down and also attacked taxi drivers. Elements of the PNC on patrol were also observed removing these barricades. [size=no report]
