notes: On 2 December 2021, a group of people marched to the Provincial Assembly in Bukavu city (Bukavu, Sud-Kivu) to demonstrate against a motion of censure targeted against the provincial government. During the event, the rioters burnt the vehicle of International Alert, an NGO. The driver of the vehicle was tied-up by the group as the vehicle was burning. The PNC fired shots in the air, preventing another group of people who wanted to extinguish the fire. 2-3 journalists, who were covering the legislative events, were injured (by the PNC fire shots, according to some sources). At the same time, a group of mainly taxi drivers organized a counter-march to support the motion. [size=no report]
