SOUTH SUDAN’S dissident guerilla leader Riek Machar flew to South Africa yesterday but will not seek asylum there, spokesman Mabior Garang said.

On Monday, a spokesman for President Salva Kiir’s government called Mr Machar and his split from the SPLM-IO party “terrorists” and accused them of “targeted killing” based on ethnicity.

Mr Machar fled the capital Juba in July after clashes between his party and Mr Kiir’s original SPLM.
