South Sudan's First Vice-President Riek Machar has been placed under house arrest, his party says.

Machar is a long-time rival of President Salva Kiir , who agreed in August 2018 to end a five-year civil war that killed nearly 400,000 people.

The UN has been warning that South Sudan is on the brink of a return to civil war.
