South Sudan President Salva Kiir has given an amnesty to all those involved in the nation's civil war, including rebel leader Riek Machar, state-run television said, days after the signing of a peace deal.
“Republican order number 14 for the year 2018 for the grant of general amnesty to the leader of SPLM-IO ... Riek Machar Teny and other estranged groups who waged war against the Government of the Republic of South Sudan from 2013 to date,” Kiir’s order, read on state-run television late on Wednesday, stated.
