Machar home safe after clashes outside president's compound JUBA (8 Jul.) South Sudan's first vice president Riek Machar left several hours ago from the presidential compound in Juba to his residence in Gudele under SPLA and SPLA-IO escort and arrived safely.
Machar had been in the compound known as J1 or State House for a meeting with president Salva Kiir and vice president Wani Igga to discuss the killing of five soldiers in a skirmish between SPLA and SPLA-IO forces on Thursday. As they met, heavy clashes and gunfire erupted outside, spreading across the capital city. Kiir and Igga also reportedly reached their respective homes safely as well. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
