On Thursday, Machar’s party announced that his detention under house arrest had effectively collapsed the peace deal that ended the 2013–2018 civil war, which killed hundreds of thousands.
An armed convoy led by top security officials, including the defense minister, entered Machar’s residence in the capital, Juba, and disarmed his bodyguards. Machar was detained along with his wife, Interior Minister Angelina Teny.
British Foreign Minister David Lammy echoed international calls for restraint, urging South Sudan’s leaders to take immediate steps to de-escalate the crisis.
