NAIROBI (Reuters) -South Sudanese forces loyal to President Salva Kiir continued to round up allies of First Vice President Riek Machar on Thursday, arresting the peacebuilding minister in an escalation of a dispute church leaders warned could lead to a new civil war.
"The National Security Service (NSS) has struck again, arresting Hon. Stephen Par Kuol ... from his office a few minutes ago," Machar's spokesperson, Puok Both Baluang, said on X.
