notes: On 13 January 2021, ADF militia rebels killed at least 46-47 civilians (Batwa ethnicity) with machetes (decapitated) and injured 2 others, during an attack in Abembi village, near Tshabi (Irumu, Ituri). Many of the victims were women and children. Some reports suggested that some Banyabwisha Hutu groups were behind the attack and not the ADF, as the attack targeted only Batwa people. Authorities sent an investigation team to clarify the facts.
