notes: Battle between Sudanese forces and SLM/A-Nur early January around Kaguro in northwestern Jebel Marrah, leaving unidentified number killed. SLM/A-Nur quickly lost its positions around Kaguro. After their victory, SAF set up a base in Kaguro and shelled the area for three days (at least five killed). The bombs are believed to have released poisonous chemical smokes in the air, leaving many injured. They also attacked dozens of villages in the area, leaving at least eight severely damaged (Kaguro, Dedow, Harbya, Kwobey, Nyortolo, Aeow Kworoing-Elley, Nyortolo, and Nyortolo Soam). Many accounts of civilian deaths and of civilians having suffered physical violence in these attacks. Intermitent fighting continued between the two groups around Kaguro through June.
