South Sudan’s government plans to dismiss First Vice President Riek Machar and haul him before a court if an ongoing investigation finds him complicit in renewed violence in the country, The East African reported, citing Information Minister Michael Makuei Lueth.
A panel is determining whether there’s sufficient evidence to bring Machar to trial, the Nairobi-based newspaper reported on Monday. The case will be dropped if the committee clears him of any wrongdoing, it said.
