notes: Clashes between SPLA (supported by SPLA-IO's Deng Gai faction) and SPLA-IO rebels in Pagak on 10 and 11 August. Government claimed five rebels were killed during the clashes on 11 August, while four were wounded from their side. Further attempts by SPLA-IO to regain the area were allegedly made on 12 August, after which the rebels claimed to be in control of Pagak and the area leading to the Ethiopia border, killing 'many soldiers'. Government forces insisted that they repulsed them every time, sending officials to the town and reporting from there. They seemed to maintain a presence at the 'Pagak bridge'.
