On April 14, 2023, CODECO militants attacked several villages in Banyani Kilo Chiefdom, Ituri, Democratic Republic of the Congo, killing between 46 and 62 people.

CODECO is a Congolese militant group based in Ituri and predominantly composed of Lendus.[1] The group has attacked Hema communities in conflicts over farming and land rights for decades, although CODECO's insurgency in recent years had disproportionately targeted civilians.[1]
