notes: On October 2nd, several members of the SSOA - notably Thomas Cirilo's NAS group - announced they were splitting from the SSOA which signed the recent peace agreement with the government. The new group is to be headed by Cirilo, and comprises the NAS, PDM, and UDRA, alongside splinter factions of the NDM and SSNMC. The existing leader of the SSOA - Gabriel Changson Chang - welcomed the decision, but said that the new group should not use the name or logo of the SSOA (as they currently intend to do).
