notes: On 17 April 2020, SSPDF soldiers deployed in Mukaya payam in Lainya county (Central Equatoria state) were reported to have beaten (and attacked with knives) civilians in the area, whom they accused of supporting NAS rebels, and burned dwellings and looted from the inhabitants. Over 3,000 civilians were displaced to Yei town (one source says 7,000). The SSPDF deny the accusation, and say that residents fled out of fear of a confrontation between government and rebel troops.
