notes: On 6 September 2021, heavy fighting was reported in Tambura town (Tambura county, Western Equatoria state), in disputed circumstances. The commissioner of Tambura has stated that fighting was between SSPDF under the command of Maj. Gen. James Nando, and SPLM-IO forces based in the area. Nando has refuted the claim that his forces were responsible for the events, claiming that IO and associated militias from the Mbororo community from Western Bahr el Ghazal state attacked Tambura town. 24 were reportedly killed (2 SSPDF, and 22 SPLM-IO) and 13 wounded (3 SSPDF, 9 SPLM-IO, and a young child caught in the crossfire) across fighting in the area [fatalities distributed equally across three events].
