VP Taban Breaks Silence on Machar Arrest: “Let the Law Decide” ‎

-




‎South Sudan’s Vice President Gen. Taban Deng Gai has assured citizens that the peace agreement signed in 2018 remains strong, despite the recent house arrest of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar. 

‎

‎Speaking during a visit to Unity State on Saturday, Gai said Machar’s detention is a legal issue not a political move.

‎

‎“The arrest of Dr. Riek Machar should not be seen as a threat to peace,” Gai told a gathering in Rubkona County. “He will go through legal proceedings, and the law will determine whether he has done anything wrong.”

‎

‎President Salva Kiir ordered the house arrest of Machar in late March, accusing him of involvement in recent violence in Nasir County, Upper Nile State. 

‎

‎The move has sparked concerns among Machar’s supporters and raised fears of renewed conflict in his home region.

‎

‎VP Taban, who leads the Infrastructure Cluster in the unity government, is part of the power-sharing arrangement formed after the five-year civil war. His visit aimed to calm tensions in Unity State and deliver a peace message from President Kiir.

‎

‎“Our president has made it clear we should never return to war,” Taban said. “Our next fight must be against poverty, ignorance, disease, and hunger.”

‎

‎Addressing local grievances, VP Taban urged Nuer communities including the Bul, Leek, and Jikany to settle disputes through legal channels instead of violence. He warned against politicians who use ethnic divisions to gain power.

‎

‎“Communities must reject leaders who incite hatred. Peace and development benefit us all,” he added.

‎

‎Paramount Chief Chiloak Puok of the Leek Nuer welcomed Gai’s remarks but called for fair distribution of services. “We will support peace,” Puok said, “but development must reach all communities equally. President Kiir is the leader of all tribes.”

‎

‎The situation remains tense, but Vice President Gai’s visit signals the government’s effort to contain the crisis and reassure the public that peace is still the top priority.

‎ The Office of the President has dismissed public speculation surrounding Vice President Rebecca Nyandeng de Mabior’s recent assignment to oversee the Governance Cluster, clarifying that the move does not signal any change in the country’s executive hierarchy. ‎ ‎While addressing the media, Presidential Press Secretary Ambassador David Amuor said Nyandeng’s role is temporary and administrative, aimed at ensuring continuity of government operations following the suspension of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar, who traditionally chairs the Governance Cluster. ‎ Amb. David, explained that the Council of Ministers had accumulated a backlog of pending memos and policy documents, many of which required urgent presentation and processing to avoid delays in governance and legislation. ‎ “This arrangement does not in any way alter the hierarchy of the Presidency,” Amb. David stressed. “Vice President Nyandeng is only facilitating the presentation and co-sharing of memos in Cabinet to ensure...
