South Sudan — Upper Nile Movement Trend Tracking Report (23–29 April 2017)

On 27 April, SPLA forces advanced on Kodok. The attack has led to further displacement in the area, pushing a large number of people toward Abruoc. This displacement will add to the numbers that had been arriving following SPLA operations in Panyikang earlier in April. With the attack on Kodok, a large number of people are believed to have attempted to make the journey to the Sudanese border. Currently approximately 7,000 IDPs are believed to be in Megenis, predominantly from the Kodok area. The total population of approximately 27,000 civilians counted to be in the Abruoc area prior to the recent violence in Abruoc is likely to remain stable, with the recent influxes likely to have replaced the numbers that have left to Sudan.
