South Sudan's main opposition party said Tuesday they were withdrawing from a body overseeing the young nation's lumbering peace process, dealing a fresh blow to its elusive quest for stability.
The Sudan People's Liberation Movement in Opposition (SPLM/A-IO) -- led by Vice President Riek Machar -- had pulled out of the peace monitoring mechanism to protest continued "unprovoked" attacks of its bases by its "peace partner", the party said.
