💨 Abstract

The East African bloc IGAD called on South Sudan's government to release detained officials and lift security restrictions to prevent escalating factional tensions and possible renewed war. The arrest of officials allied to First Vice President Riek Machar and deadly clashes around a strategic northern town are jeopardizing a 2018 peace deal that ended a five-year civil war.
