FILE - In this Nov. 21, 2016 file photo, members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces arrive as part of a first batch who have a broader mandate to use force at the airport in Juba as Japanese peacekeepers landed in South Sudan in the first such deployment of the country's troops overseas with those expanded powers in nearly 70 years. The Japanese government has decided to end its peacekeeping mission in South Sudan after five years. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Friday, March 10, 2017, that Japan will not renew the mission after the current rotation returns in May. The 350-person infrastructure team was focused on road construction. (AP Photo/Justin Lynch, File)
