SPLM-IO Kit Gwang faction split from the group led by the first vice president Dr. Riek Machar in August 2021
It declared that it was on its own, it at that time disowned Dr. Riek Machar, there was a fight among the troops leading to loss of lots of lives in Kit Gwnag, Upper Nile State.
In 2022 after a deal was reached president Salva Kiir’s government, an order was made by the president for an immediate integration of the forces into the national army but that did not happen.
