notes: On 7 December 2020, supporters of the UDPS-CACH (pro-Tshisekedi) and the FCC-PPRD (Pro-Kabila) political platforms, some of them armed with sticks, clashed with each other outside the national parliament in Kinshasa (Kinshasa, Kinshasa), amid rising tensions within the FCC-CACH governing coalition. The police intervened and fired teargas and birdshot at demonstrators, resulting in 3 men being seriously injured. Inside the parliament, a group of pro-Tshisekedi lawmakers together with other members of opposition turned over furniture and hurled chairs to show their refusal to the assembly's pro-Kabila leadership.
