notes: On 14 February 2021, ADF militants clashed with elements of the FARDC in Ndalya (Irumu, Ituri) during an attack against civilians at a nearby church. About 16 to 24 people, including Christians, died as a result of the armed clash, 11 were wounded, and several others were abducted, including 6 children (4 boys and 2 girls). The armed clashes triggered community displacements. On 18 February, between 12-23 hostages were released in Mambelenga (Irumu, Ituri). Subsequent reports suggest that the ISCAP claimed the attack. On 12 March, the ADF liberated 12 more hostages. Other sources suggest that the hostages were released on 19 February.
