JUBA, South Sudan, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- The government of South Sudan agreed to allow thousands more United Nations peacekeeping soldiers into the country without restriction to help end a violent outburst between rival factions in the young country.
The South Sudanese government, led by President Salva Kiir, had resisted further U.N. involvement as a violation of the nation's sovereignty, despite bloody clashes that flared up again in July between rival groups.
