UN warns of conflict in South Sudan amid reports of VP Riek Machar’s arrest
First Vice President Riek Machar reportedly arrested after armed convoy led by government officials entered his residence in the capital, Juba. The United Nations Mission in South Sudan has called on all parties to exercise restraint amid reports of the arrest of First Vice President Riek Machar – the longtime rival of the country’s President Salva Kiir. According to Machar’s Sudan People’s Liberation Army In Opposition party, a convoy of 20 heavily armed vehicles “forcefully entered” the first vice president’s residence in Juba and disarmed his bodyguards on Wednesday. The country’s defence minister and chief of national security were in the convoy that delivered an arrest warrant to the vice president, the SPLM/IO said, “An arrest warrant was delivered to him under unclear charges,” according to a statement, which was shared on Facebook by Reath Muoch Tang, chairman of Machar’s foreign relations committee.
