British Troops, proudly wearing their distinctive blue UN berets
arrives in Juba on 2 May 2017 (UN/Isaac Billy Photo)
May 2, 2017 (JUBA) – The United Nations Mission in South Sudan
(UNMISS) said about 400 United Kingdom troops arrived to serve as
peacekeepers.
"British troops, proudly wearing their distinctive blue UN berets
arrived in Juba today to join the United Nations Mission in South
Sudan," UNMISS said in a statement that was released late on Tuesday.
According to UNMISS, the UK contingent will provide a Military
Engineering Taskforce to the Malakal and Bentiu Protection of
Civilians Sites (POCs), as well as a Level II Hospital in Bentiu.
Also, British troops will also conduct construction to improve the
accommodation, security and drainage in the areas, along with the
construction of a jetty on the Nile River and a helicopter landing
site.
"Alongside their UNMISS colleague, their efforts will make a
contribution to protecting civilians and creating conditions to enable
the delivery of humanitarian aids," the UNMISS added.
With almost 400 troops in total, this will be one of the UK’s largest
operational deployments across the world.
In addition to the UNMISS troops, 4,000 Regional Protection Force
members approved by the UN Security Council last year began arriving
in Juba this week to pacify the main city and provide security to
vital infrastructure and routes leading out of Juba.
There are about 12,000 peacekeepers serving in UNMISS, protecting more
than 200,000 civilians in six POCs.
The civilians fled violence from government troops at the onset of
conflict in December 2013.

lino,
Do you mean British troops represent the world ? What about
those UN peacekeepers in South Sudan, from Ethiopia, Rwanda,
Bangladesh, India, Ghana. We have 1200 forces from UN in South Sudan
plus 4000 coming from Africa AU, who do they represent? OH my God!!!!
Africa educated people still believe all Africa issues must be solved
by White. 400 people from UK will be only in Malakal and Bentu

Mr. Kuch,
You have good points but let me tell you
one thing. Until your people meaning all south Sudanese and their
leaders accept the reality and the fact that the whole country or ¾ of
your populations in now in refuge, then there is no reason why we can
point fingers to those who are willing to help.

Britain and America has nothing to do

people air their views they should be thankful that someone somewhere
is contributing and helping the suffering people of South Sudan.

its right time for you to make suicide.
South Sudan has been given series of benefit o doubt to correct
behaviour of atrocities, lying, impunities in the eye of international
community. But all efforts and attempt fall to ears of lunatic deaf
and ignorant people who called themselves as politicians and elite,
get ready for regime change which you been guessing and failed correct

Ya so called South Sudan,
What did you add to the world here? Name of countries?
That is what I meant by WORLD instead of mentioning each one!!!
They used to call it regional but not anymore!!! The
regional countries are after your dollars that is why they were

You still writing? I thought you will go to hide after
this embarrassing statement you put out about British. I added the
"UN", UN means the world, do you know that? Bangladesh Japanese,
Chinese and India are not regional forces under UN. Do you know that
those British forces were in South Sudan before but they ran away
during J1 incident? Even regional forces are under UN, under the
world.

Let’s wait and see what they will do. Let’s wait and see if
they will do what they mentioned during their arrival. They were in
South Sudan last year but they ran away during JI incident without
infroming UN, so I don’t think 400 men will do anything more to secure

If there are idiots in South Sudan, the most idiotic south
Sudanese is the guy who calls himself KUCH.
This guy seems to be a "conical flask" of these failed leaders.
There is one thing KUCH should know; without the international
community, South Sudan wouldn’t have gained its independence.
The meager flakes from your masters’ coats makes you to sneeze
loudly without thinking critically.
