The South Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In Opposition (SPLM-IO) says it has withdrawn from the security arrangements of the 2018 peace deal, signalling further wrangling in the coalition government.
The SPLM-IO, led by First Vice President Riek Machar, a key signatory to the agreement, said it was pulling its support from the security mechanisms in protest at the detention of several of its senior leaders and the entry of Ugandan troops into South Sudan.
