notes: Around 15 February 2020 (month of), an SPLM-IO splinter faction aligned to the government and operating in conjunction with Cie-Waw militia (a sub-section of the Gajaak Nuer section of the Eastern Jikany Nuer) was reported to have engaged in sexual violence (including the mutilation of male and female genitalia) at an unspecified location of Maiwut county (Upper Nile state), presumed to be close to Jikou. The attacks are said to have been targeted at supporters of regular IO forces in the area.
