notes: Change to armed group: On or before 4th August, General Julius Tabule - a NAS general based in the Kajo-Keji area - claimed to have taken control of the rebel movement from its founding leader, Major General Thomas Cirillo. It is unclear how many soldiers have accepted this apparent internal coup. The following day, Thomas Cirillo - the founder of the NAS - dismissed the renegade Kajo-Keji based General. He also dismissed five other commanders (Dr Gasim Barnaba Kisanga, Gen. Khalid Butrous, Maj. Gen. Ali Kur, Brig. Nathaniel Chol Gai, and Brig. Gen. Michael Aywen) and distanced himself from the Khartoum Declaration of Agreement.
