The Uganda Police Force (UPF) is set to deploy 20 officers to South Sudan under a United Nations peacekeeping arrangement, reaffirming the country’s commitment to international peace and security.
“I urge you to exhibit professionalism and discipline when executing your duties on the mission.
South Sudan has been teetering on the brink of renewed conflict after President Salva Kiir fell out with his First Vice President, Riek Machar, seven months ago.
Machar, accused of plotting to overthrow Kiir’s government, has been under house arrest since February.
In March, Uganda deployed additional troops at Kiir’s request amid fears that Machar’s loyalists were preparing to topple the regime.
