UN fires commander of South Sudan peacekeeping force
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Tuesday fired the commander of the UN peacekeeping force in South Sudan, Kenyan Lt General Johnson Ondieki. This comes after an independent investigation slammed the peacekeepers' response to attacks on a UN compound housing 27,000 displaced people in July. The report said "lack of leadership...culminated in a chaotic and ineffective response to the violence".
