But in his position as EA chair, he should go beyond issuing a statement and showing more leadership. He rallied Africa against ICC, he should be busier rallying the world against this genocide. He should come out strongly and show leadership. He should call UN, EU, AU and let the whole world look at these guys. But he shud start by making it clear to those SS leaders can't afford to propagate war in their country n have them n their families live in Nairobi.
@Washiku, the 300+ KDF is part of the UN Mission to South Sudan ( UNMISS)to be based at the Kenyan Camp in Wau, WbEG state, which is part of the civilian protection mandate. The current genocide is still ongoing and only Museveni has sent active combatants who are fighting alongside the SPLA-Government forces. Literally, UPDF is the one keeping Salva Kiir in power.
BTW approx 70% of the national army has defected and the government side is outnumbered in terms of ground troops but has the advantage on weaponry. The opposition also has the advantage of terrain esp this time round due to the rains making government forces unable to move.
If AU/IGAD do not send ground troops VERY soon, the levels of massacre soon to be witnessed will forever be a scar on the collective conscience of humankind.
