South Sudanese security forces have reportedly left the premises of First Vice-President Riek Machar's residence in the capital, Juba on Monday morning after surrounding his home late Saturday. This after further disagreements over the implementation of a fragile 2018 peace agreement.
The officers were stationed outside his house after he released a statement saying he would reject President Salva Kiir’s order to create a national army, as outlined in the 2018 peace deal.
