The Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), also known as the anti-governmental forces (AGF) is a mainly South Sudanese political party and rebel group that split from the Sudan People's Liberation Movement in 2013 due to political tensions between President Salva Kiir and Vice President Riek Machar Teny over leadership of the SPLM. Tensions strengthened between forces loyal to both presidents and South Sudan plunged into a political war, The South Sudanese Civil War.
The party and militia is led by Riek Machar.
