The loyalist UFF has announced today that they are withdrawing their support for the Good Friday Agreement.
However, the group said its ceasefire remains intact.
In a statement, the UFF said it found it intolerable that Sinn Fein had gained “concession after concession, yet there is still a growing erosion of our culture and heritage”.
The statement came as the PUP, which speaks for the rival UVF held an executive meeting in Belfast at which it was expected to announce it was pulling out of the current phase of the peace process talks.
