location: Amut
notes: On 13 September 2021, SPLM-IO forces loyal to Riek Machar clashed with those loyal to the Kitgweng faction of the IO at Khor Jala and Amut in the Meganis area of Manyo county (Upper Nile state) [approximate coordinates for Amut - based on description placing the location 30km from Meganis - have been used at GP2). Note that some sources place the fighting at Tabaldi (described as being 25km from Meganis). Between fighting on 10 Sep and 13 Sep the Kitgweng faction claimed that 20 were killed (17 of whom were supposedly from the IO loyalists) whilst IO loyalists claimed that 23 were killed, 22 of whom (including three Major Generals) were supposedly from the Kitgweng faction. IO Kitgweng have reportedly acknowledged that one Major General was killed on 13 Sep. Lower estimate of 20 fatalities is used, with fatalities distributed across three events. Note that the spokesman for the IO loyalists have accused the Kitgweng faction of also launching attacks against their positions on 11 and 12 September, although this is not corroborated in other sources.
