Content_paragraphs:  In Grand Nord, in Beni territory, attacks by suspected Allied Democratic Forces 
  
  (ADF) persisted against civilians and the Armed Forces of the Democratic Republic 
  
  of the Congo (FARDC). Suspected ADF elements, allegedly working in cooperation 
  
  with local Mai-Mai groups, carried out 30 attacks against civilians, resulting in at 
  
  least 174 civilians killed (127 men, 42 women and 5 boys), 11 injured (10 men and 1 
  
  woman) and 59 abducted (47 men, 9 women and 3 boys), as well as 40 houses 
  
  destroyed. This represents 35 per cent of all incidents and 85 per cent of all killings 
  
  of civilians occurring in Grand Nord. Although there has been a 27 per cent decrease 
  
  in incidents against civilians compared with the previous reporting period, the death 
  
  rate resulting from those attacks increased by 34 per cent. On 18 November, a team 
  
  of military investigators led by the prosecutor at the Operational Military Court was 
  
  deployed to Mwalika, with support from MONUSCO, and confirmed that 30 civilians 
  
  had been killed, presumably after being abducted by ADF combatants in Lisasa, 
  
  Kisimba and Kasanza on 31 October.
