In South Africa, a well-connected regional political consultant said Machar was being held “basically under house arrest” near Pretoria with his movements restricted and his phone calls monitored and controlled.
“If he wants to go to the toilet, he has to hand over his phone and a guy stands outside the cubicle,” the source said.
Foreign ministry spokesman Clayson Monyela denied Machar was being held against his will, describing him instead as a “guest” of Pretoria as South Africa tried to prevent the civil war sliding into genocide.
