notes: On 5 January 2020, an SPLM-IO splinter group aligned with the government clashed with regular SPLM-IO soldiers at Jikou (Upper Nile state), with the splinter group then seizing control of Jikou town. At least 10 civilians were killed between this event, another in Jotome payam the same day, and another clash in late December (fatalities distributed across three events). One source notes that casualties were sustained by both combatants, but does not state whether fatalities occurred.
