The exact origin of Ansaru is unclear, but it had already existed as Boko Haram faction[33] before officially announcing its foundation as separate group on 1 January 2012.[33][34][35] The group has no known military presence in Nigeria since 2015, but several of its members appear to be still active.[36]
The SPLM-IO accused JEM of supporting Kiir's government since 2013, though JEM has denied any involvement and claims to maintain neutrality in the South Sudanese Civil War.[103] The Sudanese government,[104] aid workers[103] and other sources[105] have however affirmed that JEM is taking part in conflict on the side of the South Sudanese government.[106]
The Cobra Faction openly opposed the government until 2014, and remained in relative opposition until 2015, when it divided into a pro-government and pro-SPLM-IO faction, the latter of which formed the Greater Pibor Forces. In early 2016, the Cobra Faction effectively disbanded, when the remaining group joined the government.[111][112] In September 2016, however, the Cobra Faction was declared restored by some of its commanders and declared that it had resumed its struggle against the government.[113]
Arms, military exercises and general aid.

[Ansaru-37] The exact origin of Ansaru is unclear, but it had already existed as Boko Haram faction[33] before officially announcing its foundation as separate group on 1 January 2012.[33][34][35] The group has no known military presence in Nigeria since 2015, but several of its members appear to be still active.[36]

[JEM-108] The SPLM-IO accused JEM of supporting Kiir's government since 2013, though JEM has denied any involvement and claims to maintain neutrality in the South Sudanese Civil War.[103] The Sudanese government,[104] aid workers[103] and other sources[105] have however affirmed that JEM is taking part in conflict on the side of the South Sudanese government.[106]

[fn1-116] The Cobra Faction openly opposed the government until 2014, and remained in relative opposition until 2015, when it divided into a pro-government and pro-SPLM-IO faction, the latter of which formed the Greater Pibor Forces. In early 2016, the Cobra Faction effectively disbanded, when the remaining group joined the government.[111][112] In September 2016, however, the Cobra Faction was declared restored by some of its commanders and declared that it had resumed its struggle against the government.[113]
