Kenya angry at sacking of South Sudan peacekeeping chief 

Kenya says it is shocked at the decision of the UN Secretary-General to sack the Kenyan commander of the UN peacekeeping force in South Sudan.

Mr Ban dismissed Lt Gen Johnson Ondieki after a report said it had failed to protect civilians in July.

Kenya condemned the decision as unfair,saying it would withdraw its troops from the UN mission in South Sudan.

The report said peacekeepers did not act when soldiers attacked an aid compound in the capital, Juba.

Kenya said Mr Ban's decision to sack Gen Ondieki failed to address the root causes of the problem highlighted in the report.

The UN has 13,000 peacekeepers deployed in South Sudan.
