Obama is sending five American military officers to South Sudan amid recent outbreaks of violence in the newly independent African nation. In response to the violence, Obama issued a separate memorandum last week giving the U.S. the ability to send weapons and defense assistance to South Sudan.

The troops are expected to focus on “strategic planning and operations,” which I guess is the new way to say “plan drone strikes to kill more Muslims and other brown people.”

Since gaining independence in July, South Sudan has been beset by internal conflict. Aid groups estimate that 60,000 people have been affected by recent outbreaks of violence, and the U.N. says tens of thousands have fled their homes and are in urgent need of high-nutritional food, clean water, health care and shelter.

So it is obvious that the best way the US can help is by sending in military advisers, ‘natch.
