location: Meganis
notes: On 16 January 2022, the SPLM-IO Kitgweng faction signed a peace agreement with the South Sudanese government in Khartoum, paving the way for integration of the Kitgweng forces into the SSPDF within three months. Notably, the deputy leader of the faction - Gen. Johnson Olonyi - signed a separate agreement on behalf of Aguelek forces (ethnic Shilluk rebels loyal to Olonyi) at the same ceremony. This second agreement says that the Shilluk/Chollo and Padang Dinka communities should engage in peaceful dialogue on land matters; that Malakal shall remain the headquarters of Malakal/Makal county; and that state authorities should facilitate the return of shops and homes to rightful owners (meaning dispossessed Shilluk). Event coded to the Kitgweng HQ of Meganis (Manyo county, Upper Nile state).
