💨 Abstract

South Sudan's First Vice President Riek Machar is under arrest and facing charges of inciting rebellion, according to the government. This has raised concerns of a potential resurgence of civil war. The arrest came after reports of Machar, a longtime rival of President Salva Kiir, being detained on Wednesday. International calls for restraint followed, and Kenya sent its former prime minister, Raila Odinga, to mediate.
