South Sudan's Machar under house arrest as UN calls for restraint

Juba, Mar 27 (UNI) South Sudanese First Vice President Riek Machar was placed under house arrest in the national capital of Juba on Wednesday night as the United Nations mission in the country called for restraint amid rising tensions across the country.
"Following reports tonight of the detention of First Vice President Riek Machar, the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) calls on all parties to exercise restraint and uphold the Revitalized Peace Agreement," Nicholas Haysom, special representative of the UN secretary-general to South Sudan and head of the UNMISS, said in a statement issued on Wednesday night.
Haysom said the unilateral amendments by the parties to that agreement, which jeopardize the hard-won gains of the past seven years, risk returning the country to a state of war.
