JUBA, South Sudan — Observers say a number of Ugandan forces briefly entered South Sudan’s Central Equatoria region last week in a possible violation of a United Nations arms embargo. He said Uganda enters on a case-by-case basis without seeking U.N Security Council permission and that South Sudan’s government is aware of their presence. But South Sudan deputy army spokesman Santo Domic Chol denied any knowledge of Ugandan troops in the country recovering from a five-year civil war that has killed nearly 400,000 people. Uganda has openly provided support for South Sudan’s government. It was not clear how many Ugandan troops entered South Sudan.
