Boma was the first town captured by the Sudan People's Liberation Army at the beginning of its insurgency in 1983. The SPLA subsequently used the town's name for the lowest-level administrative division in the territory it controlled, which continues in modern-day South Sudan.[1]
More recently, the town of Boma has been at the center of the insurgency of the South Sudan Democratic Army led by David Yau Yau.[2]
