The Ethiopian government has forced former first Vice President of South Sudan, Riek Machar, back to South Africa citing his lack of permission to stay in the country. The main reason for the action by the authorities was because Machar did not fulfill immigration requirements to stay in the country. Ethiopia's PM: “Peace is very important for #SouthSudan and the region, everybody must work for peace & guns must fall silent! Machar repeatedly called for an armed resistance after he fled the country following renewed clashes with forces loyal of President Salva Kiir. He went to the Democratic Republic of Congo, then to Sudan before flying to South Africa to seek medical attention.
