Tensions are escalating between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar in South Sudan, with high-level arrests ordered by Kiir and Machar's home besieged by troops. The infighting follows a history of violence that led to civil war in 2013 and a fragile peace agreement in 2018. Political rivalries and ethnic divisions, particularly the animosity between the Dinka and Nuer tribes, are fueling fears of renewed conflict. With South Sudan still dealing with a humanitarian crisis, these developments raise serious concerns for the stability and future of the nation.
The resurgence in tensions between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar poses a potential threat to the fragile peace in South Sudan, following the 2018 peace deal.
Despite the 2018 peace agreement restoring calm, the rising hostility between Kiir and Machar has reignited fears of another civil conflict in a country already grappling with severe humanitarian challenges.
