President Uhuru blundered on pullout from South Sudan

A senior Kenyan commander of the United Nations Peace Keeping Force in South Sudan Lt. General Johnson Ondieki was recently dropped following an indictment of dereliction of duty that led to the attack, killing and rape of civilians and aid workers by warring forces of the SPLA and those of rebel leader Riek Machar.

This has triggered a needless diplomatic tiff that has seen the Kenyan government withdraw her troops from South Sudan in a move that can only be described as blind pride on the part of Kenya.
