South Sudanese security officers arrested 16 members of an advance rebel team in the capital, a spokesman said, about a week before the insurgents’ leader, Riek Machar, is due to return to the city.
The men were seized Tuesday while gathering to welcome a deputy rebel chairman to Juba, spokesman William Ezekiel said by phone from the city.
