notes: Around 16 August 2021 (as reported), a unidentified armed group speaking Kinyarwanda killed 4 people in the territory of Nyiragongo (Nord-Kivu). Further, 5 people were wounded by fire shots, 8 were kidnapped (including the Evangelical/Christian NGO, Eper Suisse) and 8 homes were ransacked. While the identity of the armed group is unknown, reports are suggestive of the Rwandan army's control of some areas, including the Kanyesheja hills.
