En République démocratique du Congo, dans la province de l'Ituri, le groupe djihadiste ADF a mené une série d'attaques, tuant une soixantaine de personnes, dont une cinquantaine dans le village de Bafwakoa le 1er avril. L'opposition, regroupée au sein de la coalition Lamuka de Martin Fayulu, interpelle le gouvernement congolais face à la persistance de ces violences, malgré la présence de l'armée ougandaise. L'opposition critique notamment l'absence de deuil national et l'organisation de festivités pour la participation de la RDC à la coupe du Monde, considérant cela comme un manque de respect envers les victimes et une incapacité du gouvernement à assurer la sécurité de la population. Le porte-parole de Lamuka dénonce l'inaction du gouvernement de Félix Tshisekedi face à ces massacres.
