notes: Other: On 8 June 2021, President Salva Kiir dismissed the Governor of Lakes State, Makur Kulang, and the Chief Administrator of Ruweng Administrative Area, William Chol Awalith. Maj. Gen. Rin Tueny Mabor was appointed as Governor of Lakes, with Lt. Gen. Marshal Stephen Babanen replacing him as Director of SSPDF Military Intelligence. Peter Dau was appointed as the new Administrator of Ruweng. The changes follow the dismissal of Joshua Konyi as the Chief Administrator of the Greater Pibor Administrative Area last week, who was replaced by Lokali Ame Bullen. Lakes and Pibor have experienced significant violence over the past year, although the move may be intended to avoid tensions between Rin Tueny and the head of the Internal Bureau of the NSS, 1st Lt. Gen. Akol Koor. [Event coded to Juba, Central Equatoria state]
