notes: On 26 May 2021, some Thiou residents attacked and injured two Ingare IDPs in the town of Thiou (Thiou, Yatenga). Thiou locals barricaded the road and volunteer fighters (VDP) from Ingare who were supporting the IDPs fired warning shots. Tensions between the two communities were sparked by the marriage of an IDP to a local girl, and the events prompted IDPs to leave for Ouahigouya. [size=no report]
