notes: Around 7 February 2018, armed pastoralists from the Nyara sub-subsection of the Abii section of the Bor Dinka clan clashed with pastoralists of the Biong, Mach-Ayiel, and Nyichak sub-subsections at an unspecified location(s) in Kolnyang payam (Bor South county, Jonglei state), presumed to be in or near Panwel (the site of previous and related clashes). 16 people (8 from the Nyara) are reported to have been killed across two days of fighting, including four SPLA soldiers who were killed in the crossfire while trying to stop the clashes (fatalities distributed evenly across two events). An unspecified number were wounded, and 9 members of the Nyara were taken prisoner by the Biong subsection. The dispute is over the ownership and renaming of a village in the area.
