1. Following Mohammed Yusuf's death, Boko Haram splintered into numerous factions which no longer operated under a unified leadership. Though Abubakar Shekau eventually became the preeminent commander of the movement, he never really controlled all Boko Haram groups. Instead the factions were loosely allied, but also occasionally clashed with each other.[30][31] This situation changed in 2015, when Shekau pledged allegiance to ISIL.[32][33] The leadership of ISIL eventually decided to replace Shekau as local commander with Abu Mus'ab al-Barnawi, whereupon the movement split completely. Shekau no longer recognized the authority of ISIL, and his loyalists started to openly fight the followers of al-Barnawi.[32]
2. The exact origin of Ansaru is unclear, but it had already existed as Boko Haram faction[38] before officially announcing its foundation as separate group on 1 January 2012.[38][39][40] The group has no known military presence in Nigeria since 2015, but several of its members appear to be still active.[41]
3. 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.[107] The Sudanese government,[108] aid workers[107] and other sources[109] have however affirmed that JEM is taking part in conflict on the side of the South Sudanese government.[110]
4. 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.[115][116] 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.[117]
