Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A joint force comprising elements from South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Forces (SSPDF) and South Sudan National Security Service (NSS) has this evening been deployed around the residence of First Vice President Dr. Riek Machar Teny after fears of alleged attempt to escape the country\u2019s capital Juba, several eyewitnesses said.<\/p>\n

One eyewitness who requested not to be named said forces belonging to the national security and South Sudan People\u2019s Defense Force has been deployed along the J1 road passing near Machar\u2019s residence just behind the presidency with soldiers turning civilians passing by away.<\/p>\n

\u201cTonight J1 road is blocked, the road that passes near Riek\u2019s house. Soldiers are turning people away when you want to pass there,\u201d the eyewitness said in Juba on condition of anonymity. \u201d<\/p>\n

The eyewitness said he has \u201cno idea [as to] what\u2019s happening They\u2019re about to create tensions again. Maybe they fear Riek may escape. Let\u2019s see if they will withdraw soldiers on the road tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another eyewitness speaking to Sudans Post from the round-about confirmed presence of \u201cheavily armed soldiers\u201d and said he also has no idea as to what was happening.<\/p>\n

J1 critic and prominent activist Wani Michael said he has confirmed the latest development from \u2018multiple\u2019 sources that forces have been deployed on the way leading to First Vice President Machar\u2019s house stressing that any sound of gun could trigger return to the deadly conflict that has killed around 500,000 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom multiple sources, it seems the roads leading to FVP Dr. Riek Machar surrounded by President Kiir troops,\u201d Michael said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just a provocation of the highest order &this night might be long, just one bullet shot up like this. We\u2019re back to zero! God forgive us & protect our people,\u201d the prominent activist added.<\/p>\n
