South Sudan Agrees To Deploy Protection Force
The South Sudan government has agreed to accept the deployment of a UN-mandated regional force in Juba, a spokesman said, after months of hesitation over whether to allow extra foreign troops on its soil.
Deputy Information Minister Akol Paul Kordit said late on Friday that the "cabinet has resolved unanimously to allow the deployment of the regional protection force anytime from now".
His announcement came after lengthy deliberations during a cabinet meeting chaired by President Salva Kiir, but no details were given about when and where in the capital the force would be deployed.
