Content_paragraphs:  The security situation in Ituri improved slightly, compared with the previous 
  
  reporting period, mainly as a result of a decrease in attacks by the Coopérativ e pour 
  
  le développement du Congo (CODECO) and other, mainly Walendu community, 
  
  armed militia groups in Djugu territory. Notwithstanding ongoing negotiations led by 
  
  a delegation of former armed group leaders sent by President Tshisekedi, various 
  
  factions and groups have yet to reach a consensus and cease hostilities. CODECO and 
  
  the other factions continue to target civilians, including through harassment and 
  
  extortion. From 3 to 9 October, more than 15 incidents involving CODECO elements 
  
  were reported, resulting in the killing of at least 11 civilians, including 3 women and 
  
  2 children.
