Japan has sent troops to South Sudan for a peacekeeping mission authorized under the government’s new powers that distanced the country from its post-World War Two pacifist stance.

Tokyo sent 350 soldiers to the impoverished African nation to help the UN peacekeeping operation there. Roughly half of them arrived in the capital of Juba on Monday, while the rest are expected on December 15, Reuters reported.

The Japanese troops will be allowed to respond with force to emergency calls by UN staff and aid workers as well as guard UN facilities from militant attacks.
