First U.N. reinforcements arrive in South Sudan


The first peacekeeping reinforcements arrived Friday in South Sudan as the United Nations warned that tensions remain dangerously high despite efforts to organize a ceasefire between government and rebel forces.


The 72 member police contingent, moved from Democratic Republic of Congo, were the first of up to 6,000 troops authorized by the U.N. Security Council to bolster the hard pressed UN mission.


The U.N. said dangers remain so acute that large numbers of bodies had been seen outside at least one UN base, but could not be collected.


U.N. peacekeeping spokesman Kieran Dwyer said the Bangladeshi police “will play a key role maintaining order and security” in U.N. bases where 63,000 people have sought refuge since fighting erupted on Dec 15.


More troops and equipment were expected to arrive on Saturday.
