South Sudan vice president charged with murder, crimes against humanity: justice minister

JUBA: South Sudan’s Vice President Riek Machar has been charged with murder, treason and crimes against humanity over an attack on a military base that killed more than 250 soldiers, the justice minister said Thursday. The charges relate to an attack in March by a militia known as the White Army, which the government claims was acting under the orders of Machar. He has been under house arrest for months as part of a power struggle with his long-time rival, President Salva Kiir.
