actor1: Military Forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (2019-)
actor2: Ngumino Ethnic Militia (Democratic Republic of Congo)
location: Lwiko
notes: On 10 July 2021, the FARDC clashed against the Ngumino ethnic militia for two consecutive days in the village of Lwiko (Fizi, Sud-Kivu). The clash took place while a broader Makanika-Ngumino-Twirwaneho coalition (with the support of the Mayi Mayi Android, the Red-Tabara and the FNL) attacked the FARDC in Kakenge, Minembwe, Molima and Runundu Cepac. Overall in these simultaneous attacks, 20 people were killed (15 militants and 5 FARDC soldiers) and at least 49 were injured (35 militants and 14 FARDC soldiers). Reports suggest that the attacking coalition is a newly-formed group known as the Federal Movement for Revolution and Democracy (MFRD). 20 fatalities spread across nine events.
