Reports say South Sudan's government is planning to dismiss First Vice President Riek Machar and haul him before a court if an ongoing investigation finds him complicit in renewed violence in the country.

A panel is determining whether there's sufficient evidence to bring Machar to trial. Machar, who's been under house arrest since last month, and several members of his Sudan People's Liberation Movement-In Opposition face allegations of stoking clashes between the White Army militia and government forces. The former rebel leader was brought into the government under a 2018 power-sharing deal to end five years of conflict in the East African nation.
