Rotation Returns: Abe and Sudan

rotation returns: The 350-person team has focused on road construction, according to Brandon Sun. The team, which arrived in South Sudan in November, was Japan's first with an expanded mandate to use force if necessary to protect civilians and U.N. staff. Abe said Japan would not renew the mission after the current rotation returns in May. The Japanese military's use of force is limited by the post-World War II constitution. As South Sudan enters a new phase of nation-building, we have decided that we can now put an end to our infrastructure building efforts, Abe told reporters. Abe said Japan would continue to assist South Sudan in other ways such as with food and humanitarian support, and will keep some personnel at the U.N. peacekeeping command office.
