  South Sudan's First Vice President Riek Machar is under arrest and will be investigated, the country's information minister said on Friday, raising the risk that the rift between Machar and President Salva Kiir could plunge the nation back into war.

The South Sudanese government has announced that Vice President Riek Machar will be investigated following his arrest, which was linked to a recent incident involving his bodyguards. The government stated that the arrest was not a coup attempt but rather a response to a security breach when Machar's bodyguards allegedly fired shots near the presidential palace. The investigation aims to determine the circumstances around the gunfire and any potential threats to national security. This development has raised concerns about political stability in South Sudan, a country already grappling with internal conflicts and economic challenges. The government has assured that the investigation will be thorough and transparent, emphasizing that it is committed to maintaining peace and order.
