Content_paragraphs:  In the Grand Nord area, despite ongoing FARDC operations, ADF continued to 
  
  carry out attacks in Beni territory, especially in the northern part and Rwenzori sector. 
  
  From 19 March to 27 May, 45 security incidents were reported, in which at least 
  
  157 civilians, including 40 women, were killed by ADF and at least 21 others were 
  
  injured, including 4 women. During the resulting protests, which spanned a three-
  
  week period in April, pressure groups and citizens’ movements denounced the 
  
  perceived inadequacy of the Government and FARDC response to insecurity and 
  
  demanded the departure of the United Nations and international humanitarian actors 
  
  from Beni and Butembo. Demonstrators attacked two MONUSCO bases in Beni and 
  
  in Lubero and burned two humanitarian facilities in Oicha. The Congolese National 
  
  Police and FARDC were deployed to disperse violent protesters and contribute to the 
  
  protection of United Nations personnel and premises.
