GSDF members at UNMIS headquarters in Sudan

CAIRO, Egypt - Maj. Toshihiro Saito (front) and Cpt. Yasuyoshi Takikawa (R) of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force walk inside the headquarters of the U.N. Missions in Khartoum, Sudan in July 2010. Japan has dispatched Saito and Takikawa to UNMIS headquarters to support U.N. peacekeeping operations while Tokyo last month gave up on a plan to send SDF chopper units to Sudan, partly due to logistical difficulties.
