The Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement In Opposition, Mr. Machar\u2019s political party, said the country\u2019s defense minister and the chief of national security \u201cforcefully entered\u201d Mr. Machar\u2019s residence alongside an armed convoy, disarmed his bodyguards and \u201cdelivered an arrest warrant to him under unclear charges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Machar and his wife, Angelina Teny, who is also the minister of interior, were placed under house arrest, the party\u2019s deputy leader, Oyet Nathaniel Pierino, said in a statement. All of Mr. Machar\u2019s aides and protection officers \u201cwere arrested and moved to separate locations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The arrest threatens the fragile peace agreement signed in 2018 between Mr. Machar and President Salva Kiir, which ended a five-year civil war that killed nearly 400,000 people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Pierino said that the vice president\u2019s detention effectively killed the peace deal. Another senior party official, Reath Muoch Tang, called it a \u201cblatant violation of the Constitution.\u201d In a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/reath.muoch\/posts\/pfbid0M9D5pcJ4EsgsV82zfzdjnwbi1mE9FyEdF3Bc8uMgen5M61dbHUXrUpeQ7UybEo3Ll\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">statement<\/a> posted on social media, adding that arresting Mr. Machar \u201cwithout due process undermines the rule of law and threatens the stability of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The U.S. State Department said it was concerned about reports that Mr. Machar was \u201cunder house arrest\u201d and,\u00a0<a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AsstSecStateAF\/status\/1905051478978658634\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">in a post on social media,<\/a>\u00a0called on President Kiir \u201cto reverse this action &amp; prevent further escalation of the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Both the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/ss.usembassy.gov\/alert-security-alert-u-s-embassy-juba-further-reduces-u-s-government-personnel-due-to-security-situation-in-south-sudan\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">United States<\/a> and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UKinSouthSudan\/status\/1904971767732695491\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Britain<\/a> said they would reduce staffing at their embassies in South Sudan because of the increasing insecurity in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The U.N. mission in South Sudan <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/unmissmedia\/status\/1905028792059621609\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> in a statement that Mr. Machar\u2019s detention risked \u201creturning the country into a state of war,\u201d adding, \u201cThis will not only devastate South Sudan but also affect the entire region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The 2018 peace deal demilitarized the capital, Juba, created a power-sharing agreement between the country\u2019s largest ethnic groups, Mr. Kiir\u2019s Dinka and Mr. Machar\u2019s Nuer. It also set up measures to ensure both sides shared profits from oil exports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But all of that has appeared to be <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/17\/world\/africa\/south-sudan-war.html\" title=\"\">coming undone<\/a> in recent weeks, as deep-seated political and ethnic tensions flared up and forces allied with both sides clashed. The violence has <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/reliefweb.int\/report\/south-sudan\/humanitarian-coordinator-south-sudan-calls-protection-population-and-respect-humanitarian-efforts-amid-rising-tensions-upper-nile-state\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">displaced<\/a> at least 50,000 people since February, the U.N. said, and at least 10,000 people have crossed the border into Ethiopia seeking safety.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Wednesday, the United Nations said that South Sudan\u2019s military and opposition forces have been clashing just south and west of the capital in recent days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last month, Mr. Machar\u2019s political party accused the authorities of persecuting its supporters and arresting some of the vice president\u2019s close associates, including the deputy army chief, Gen. Gabriel Duop Lam, and the petroleum minister, Puot Kang Chol. At least 22 political and military leaders connected to Mr. Machar have been detained in recent weeks, with the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/news\/2025\/03\/13\/south-sudan-opposition-leaders-others-detained\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">whereabouts of some of them still unknown<\/a>, Human Rights Watch has said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the Upper Nile State in the northeast of the country, South Sudan\u2019s national army has also clashed with an armed force believed to be allied with Mr. Machar. This month, a U.N. helicopter evacuating wounded soldiers from the state <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/07\/world\/africa\/un-helicopter-attack-south-sudan.html\" title=\"\">was attacked<\/a>, leading to the death of one crew member and several military officers, including a general.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Machar\u2019s detention came just days after he wrote a strongly worded letter to the United Nations and African Union expressing concern over the deployment of Ugandan troops in the country. Their presence, he said, violated the peace deal. Uganda\u2019s defense minister, Jacob Oboth, told parliament last week that Mr. Kiir had asked for the Ugandan troops to be deployed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda has been a longtime ally of Mr. Kiir. Uganda is worried that a large-scale conflict in the neighboring country could result in a surge of refugees crossing the border and wider regional instability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
