Content_paragraphs:  Violence also persisted in the Ruzizi plain of Uvira territory, as well as 
  
  throughout Kalehe, Walungu, Kabare and Shabunda territories. This was due in part 
  
  to limited FARDC deployments and the return of several leaders of Mai-Mai Raia 
  
  Mutomboki to South Kivu after a failed attempt to demobilize. In Kalehe territory, 
  
  the insufficient deployment of FARDC enabled ongoing armed group activity and 
  
  increased recruitment in Kalonge and Ziralo groupements. Meanwhile in Shabunda, 
  
  there was a surge in violence, including sexual violence, by Raia Mutomboki groups. 
  
  In the Ruzizi plain, Mai-Mai Kijangala and local gangs have been active in cattle 
  
  rustling, imposing illegal taxation and directly attacking villages, while in Muturule 
  
  four civilians from the Banyamulenge community were allegedly kidnapped by armed 
  
  elements from Burundi on 17 October.
