Japanese cabinet approves participation of 2 officers in Sudan mission
October 3, 2008 (TOKYO) — Japanese government formally approved a decision to send two military officers to take part in the United Nations mission in Sudan (UNMIS) starting form this month of October.
The Two officers from the Ground Self- Defense Force will work in the headquarters of the UNMIS in Khartoum where they will engage in security database management, materials procurement and transportation scheduling.
After the signing in January 2005 of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement ending more than two decades of war in southern Sudan, the U.N. deployed 10000 peacekeepers from more than 70 countries in southern Sudan and other parts of the country.
Japan had considered to send engineering peacekeepers to participate in road construction and mine-removing in southern Sudan roads. But the idea was dropped following a report prepared by an assessment mission describing the security situation in southern Sudan as unstable.
Japanese Self-Defense Forces chief Adm. Takashi Saito indicated he is confident the GSDF officers will be able to fulfill their duty safely in UNMIS.
“We recognize the security situation in the capital Khartoum is relatively calm,” Saito, who heads the Defense Ministry’s Joint Staff Office, told a press conference.

The Northern Sudan, Khartoum can’t rely on Japanese officers to take part in the United Nations mission in Sudan, because they failed to stabilized Mosul, Northern Iraq, and they left the site regarded by the U.S, demands…
Which is they are the puppets of U.S. governments and controled over them.
You can’t trust them period!!!
