AI Summary:
South Sudan has seen an “alarming regression” as clashes in recent weeks threaten to undo years of progress towards peace, the UN commission on human rights for the country has warned. The statement comes amid a spate of violence between security forces overseen by President Salva Kiir and an armed group his government has alleged is linked to First Vice President Riek Machar. Kiir ordered the arrests of two officials and several senior military officials allied with Machar. The army also surrounded Machar’s home, effectively putting him under house arrest. An army general was also killed in the failed rescue mission, UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) said Friday.
