location: Khor Bar
notes: On 6 December 2019, SPLM-IO forces clashed with armed youth (likely from the Cie-Waw section of the Eastern Jikany Nuer, and coded as such) said to be under the command of a senior IO officer who recently defected to the government (assoc actor2 coded as IO splinter faction). The clashes occurred in Nyoplew, Gokjak, Baar and Wecgatluakrik areas of Maiwut county (Upper Nile state, coordinates for Khor Bar used at geoprec2, with one event coded), as IO forces were attempting to guard a barge transporting goods from Nassir to Jikou. One source indicates seven civilians and/or youth militia were killed, though details are unclear.
