The streets of Beni are locked down after armed forces loyal to Felix Tshisekedi opened fire during a funeral at Katula Cemetery on Friday, September 25, 2026. One civilian was killed and several others were left with serious injuries in the Mambango neighborhood, sparking immediate outrage that turned into barricades blocking multiple avenues. Social and economic activities across the Bungulu Commune have come to a complete standstill as angry youth took to the streets to denounce actions attributed to Felix Tshisekedi against the Nande populations of North-Kivu. The tension is palpable throughout the area, with popular anger growing rapidly within Mambango while visible barricades appear in several cells of the city. In the chaos, one individual who was gravely injured managed to escape popular justice, though their condition remains concerning.
