  Agreement continued. However, renewed fighting between rival armed groups
  
  remained a threat to civilians. Between 15 October and 1 February, MINUSCA
  
  documented 256 incidents of human rights abuses and possible violations of
  
  international humanitarian law affecting at least 455 victims (309 men, 67 women, 23
  
  boys, 24 girls, 11 unidentified persons and 21 groups of collective victims), compared
  
  with 304 incidents and 494 victims in the previous reporting period. Signatory armed
  
  groups continued to be responsible for the majority, with 201 incidents affecting 366
  
  victims. These included FPRC (64 incidents; 108 victims), UPC (45 incidents; 105
  
  victims), MPC (13 incidents; 27 victims), anti-balaka groups (67 incidents; 97
  
  victims) and Retour, réclamation et réhabilitation (12 incidents; 29 victims). The
  
  violations committed by State agents, mainly the armed forces, included death threats,
  
  cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment, and rape (26 violations; 37 victims).
