SSUDAN-JAPAN-UN-DEFENCE

A member of the Japanese Ground Self-Defence Force (GSDF) walks towards a bus after arriving to the compound of the United Nations peacekeeping mission (UNMISS) after the group landed in Juba, South Sudan, on November 21, 2016. A UN plane landed in the morning at Juba airport with 60 new Japanese peacekeepers as the first group of the 350-strong unit, which will replace the current Japanese troops at the UN mission in South Sudan. The group, mostly engineers, will construct roads and facilities and are also assigned for the first time under Japans new security law, which enables GSDF troops to use weapons to rescue UN staff under attack. / AFP / ALBERT GONZALEZ FARRAN (Photo credit should read ALBERT GONZALEZ FARRAN/AFP via Getty Images)
