notes: On 2 October 2021, Rek Dinka cattle raiders (including members of the Thiik subsection of the Aliap section, who were likely operating alongside other Rek Dinka sections) stole eight head of cattle from the Luach-Jang Dinka clan at Padet cattle camp in Tonj East county. Following the raid, fighting broke out between the Rek and Luach-Jang Dinka at an area described as being 'near the areas of the Thiik community' (coded to Akok in Ananatak boma [the home area of the Thiik], Tonj East county, Warrap state). Across two days of violence, 39 people were killed (some of whom died later of their wounds) and 86 wounded, with sources indicating that the bulk of the violence occurred on 3 October (30 fatalities allocated to the event on 3 October, with 9 fatalities allocated to 2 October). Six thousand have been displaced.
