South Sudan’s vice president is accused of murder and treason

The First Vice President of South Sudan Riek Machaer was accused of murder, treason and crimes against humanity during the fact that some fears may return the country’s civil war.

Justice Minister Joseph Gen Akech said the allegations against Machara were involved in the attack in March, allegedly linked to the vice president.

The roads leading to his home in the capital, Juba were blocked by tanks and soldiers.

The forces devoted to the urea fought with the five -year civil war against those who support President Salva Kiera to peace in 2018.

It has been under house arrest since March, and the UN, the African Union and neighboring countries call for peace.

A peaceful deal in 2018 ended in a conflict that killed nearly 400,000 people, but the relationship between Machar and Kira is becoming more intense against the background of ethnic tensions and sporadic violence.
