JUBA (Reuters) - South Sudan's former army chief is being confined to his home for security reasons, the country's defence minister said on Thursday.

Paul Malong was sacked in May by President Salva Kiir amid resignations by senior generals alleging military abuses and tribal bias as the country's ethnically charged civil war ground on.
