On 6 August 2017 Pagak was captured by South Sudan government forces during the offensive.^[2] In late 2018, Pagak residents accused government troops of committing massive deforestation crimes. The residents alleged that government soldiers cut down trees and sell them to Ethiopian traders in the form of charcoal. ^[3]
