notes: On 15 March 2021, the FARDC and police engaged in a two-day clash against CODECO/URDPC militiamen in the villages of Garua and Tchele, located in the chefferie of Mambisa (Djugu, Ituri), leaving at least 7 people dead on the first day of fighting. The clash was prompted by the death of a CODECO element, reportedly killed by Zaire militants the previous day, on 14 March. Community displacements were triggered. Subsequent reports suggest that 30 people died during the two-day armed clashes, including 11 civilians, 16 militiamen, 2 soldiers, and 1 policeman.
