South Sudan troops deployed to DR Congo

More than 40 South Sudanese soldiers have arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo to join an East African force fighting a rebel group.

It is not clear when the rest of the 750 troops promised by South Sudan will be deployed.

They are part of a seven-nation regional force created last June to try to stabilise eastern DR Congo by supervising a withdrawal of M23 rebels.

Rwanda denies it backs the group which has seized large parts of North Kivu province, triggering a humanitarian crisis.
