Content_paragraphs:  The Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) remained a serious threat in Beni territory,
  
  North Kivu Province, and, increasingly, in neighbouring Ituri Province. Following
  
  several days of heavy clashes, on 9 January, FARDC succeeded in capturing the
  
  so-called Madina camp of ADF, located in the triangle area between Beni, Erengeti
  
  and Semuliki. ADF subsequently scattered into smaller units, but retained its ability
  
  to inflict deadly attacks, killing at least 300 civilians, including 92 women and 12
  
  children, as well as more than 40 FARDC soldiers during the reporting period. Unlike
  
  previous attacks, which were concentrated along the Beni-Erengeti road axis, many
  
  incidents since the operation against Madina camp occurred in the border area
  
  between North Kivu and Ituri Provinces. The presence of State security forces and
  
  MONUSCO in those remote areas was initially limited, but has been reinforced
  
  through additional patrolling while two temporary bases are being established.
