notes: On 28 October 2019, Biloze Bishambuke Mayi Mayi combatants reportedly intercepted IDPs who were coming from Itombwe with their cattle to settle in Bijombo region, robbed them of everything and torched their Banyamulenge host villages, including Bijombo centre. The attacks spread across both 28 and 29 October, leading some residents to flee into the bush and others to make their way towards Uvira and Minenbwe. Mayi Mayi fighters were reportedly supported by Burundese RED-TABARA rebels at least in Bijombo-centre on 29 October.
