notes: On 2 October 2021, militia from the Thoi and Rut sections of the Padang Dinka clashed at Mat, described as being in the area of Canal town (Canal/Pigi county, Jonglei state), with a former SPLM-IO commissioner of the defunct Khorwai county (who is from the Thoi section) being killed in the clash. The clash appears to have a retaliatory raid sparked by the emergence of new evidence which calls into question a decision the former commissioner took, which had disadvantaged the Rut section.
