Ethiopia has reportedly announced that South Sudan’s former vice president, Riek Machar, will no longer be welcome into the east African country. Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemarian Desalegn said this during an interview with Foreign Policy magazine.
Reports indicated that Ethiopia was not the only country, which seemed to havelost patience with Machar. Early this week, Sudan reportedly blocked him from holding a press conference in the capital Khartoum.Marchar had been in Khartoum since last month, with reports saying that he was there for"medical treatment". “Sudan has received Riek Maxchar on humaniratian grounds and so he can have medical treatment,” Sudan’s government spokesperson Ahmed Bilal was quoted as saying at the time.Unconfirmed reports recently indicated that the rebel leader was seeking refuge in South Africa or the DemocraticRepublic of Congo. His close allies, however, denied the reports, saying he was not looking for asylum anywhere.
