The Vice President’s spokesman announced the arrest of the Deputy Chief of Military in South Sudan, raising concerns about the stability of the 2018 peace agreement with President Kiir. Although the agreement formally ended a five-year conflict, violence persists among rival communities.
The spokesman for the Vice President of South Sudan has announced the arrest of the Deputy Chief of Military. This action is seen as a significant threat to the fragile peace agreement established in 2018, which concluded a protracted conflict between Vice President Riek Machar and President Salva Kiir. While the formal declaration of peace was made, sporadic violence continues to erupt among various communities across the nation.
The arrest of the Deputy Chief of Military poses a serious challenge to the existing peace in South Sudan, which has been tenuous since the end of the five-year civil war. The ongoing incidents of violence highlight the complexities and difficulties in sustaining harmony within the region.
