Merriam-Webster defines war as "a state of opened and declared armed hostile conflict between states or nations".^[1] Lexico defines war as "A state of armed conflict between different countries or different groups within a country".^[2] Conflicts causing at least 1,000 deaths in one calendar year are considered wars by the Uppsala Conflict Data Program.^[3] For other conflicts, see rebellions, coups and separate battles.

^ The exact origin of Ansaru is unclear, but it had already existed as Boko Haram faction^[32] before officially announcing its foundation as separate group on 1 January 2012.^[32]^[33]^[34] The group has no known military presence in Nigeria since 2015, but several of its members appear to be still active.^[35]
^ 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.^[102] The Sudanese government,^[103] aid workers^[102] and other sources^[104] have however affirmed that JEM is taking part in conflict on the side of the South Sudanese government.^[105]
^ 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.^[110]^[111] 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.^[112]
^ Arms, military exercises and general aid.

- Conflict Barometer - Describes recent trends in conflict development, escalations, and settlements

[Ansaru-36] The exact origin of Ansaru is unclear, but it had already existed as Boko Haram faction^[32] before officially announcing its foundation as separate group on 1 January 2012.^[32]^[33]^[34] The group has no known military presence in Nigeria since 2015, but several of its members appear to be still active.^[35]

[JEM-107] 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.^[102] The Sudanese government,^[103] aid workers^[102] and other sources^[104] have however affirmed that JEM is taking part in conflict on the side of the South Sudanese government.^[105]

[fn1-115] 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.^[110]^[111] 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.^[112]
