notes: Movement of forces: On 2 April 2021, about 300 people gathered in the city of Beni (Beni, Nord-Kivu) with a variety of weapons following a call to capture ADF militants by the civil society group Veranda Mustanga. The call to gather up arms surged in the context of increased ADF attacks in the region and in particular, an ADF attack which took place in Beu-Manyama Moliso around 30-31 March. Reports suggest that the group left the city of Beni to Kasindi and that they would spend two days in the locality of Lume.
