South Sudan VP Riek Machar Arrested

The party of South Sudan’s First Vice President Riek Machar said on Wednesday it was trying to locate him after the defence minister and chief of national security “forcefully entered” his residence and delivered an arrest warrant.
In a statement, Machar’s SPLM-IO party condemned “a blatant violation of the Constitution and the Revitalized Peace Agreement,” which ended a 2013-2018 civil war between forces loyal to Machar on one side and to President Salva Kiir on the other.

“His bodyguards were disarmed, and an arrest warrant was delivered to him under unclear charges.
