The party of South Sudan's First

Vice President Riek Machar said on Wednesday it was trying to

locate him after the defence minister and chief of national

security "forcefully entered" his residence and delivered an

arrest warrant.



A statement by Reath Muoch Tang, the acting chairperson of

the SPLM-IO's national committee on foreign relations, called

the actions a blatant violation of the constitution and a 2018

peace deal that ended a five-year civil war.



Earlier on Wednesday, the United Nations reported

clashes over the past 24 hours between forces loyal to President

Salva Kiir and Machar's forces outside of the capital, Juba.
