US deploys 45 troops to South Sudan, amid fear of civil war



The United States has deployed 45 troops to South Sudan, amid intensifying fighting between rebels and government forces and fears the country is sliding toward civil war, the White House said Thursday.

In a letter to Congress, President Barack Obama said the force was sent Wednesday to protect US citizens and property "will remain in South Sudan until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed."
