Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Monday made a special request to President Uhuru Kenyatta after meeting National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi in Tokyo, Japan.
Shinzo urged Kenya to reconsider its decision of withdrawing all KDF soldiers from the peacekeeping mission in South Sudan.
The Japan PM urged Kenyatta to engage the United Nations (UN) over its decision to sack Lt General Johnson Mogoa Ondieki - the Kenyan Commander of the UN mission in South Sudan (Unmiss) - and sort out the issue amicably.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon relieved Ondieki of his duties after the UN special investigations team unveiled a damning report on operations in South Sudan.
According to the report, it was found out that "chaotic and ineffective response" coupled with poor leadership, may have led to the death of many civilians who were not protected during the fight.
“For our part, we will no longer contribute to a mission that has failed to meet its mandate, and which has now resorted to scapegoating Kenyans,” Kenyatta stated.
Muturi was accompanied by Majority Leader of the National Assembly, Aden Duale as they held talks over different issues with the PM in Tokyo.
In August, Abe was in the country to attend the 6th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) that was held for the first time in Nairobi.

Bangladesh troops replace Kenyans pulled from S. Sudan

A troop battalion from Bangladesh is replacing Kenyan peacekeepers who were being withdrawn from South Sudan, the United Nations officials confirmed.

The deployment of 850 Bangladeshi soldiers comes in response to a UN request that followed President Uhuru Kenyatta's decision last month to end Kenya's participation in the UN Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).

President Kenyatta acted after UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon sacked the Kenyan general in command of the UNMISS peacekeeping force.

A special UN investigative team blamed Lt Gen Johnson Mogoa Kimani Ondieki for the failure of a UNMISS unit in Juba to respond to pleas for help from a nearby civilian compound under attack by South Sudan government soldiers in July.

The attack

Kenya UN Ambassador Macharia Kamau rejected the investigators' finding, noting that Lt Gen Ondieki had been on the job for only three weeks at the time of the attack.

The Kenyan envoy told reporters that the ouster of the UNMISS commander was “shameful, unfair and an exercise in scapegoating”.

A total of 1,165 Kenyan troops had been posted to UNMISS, according to the UN Peacekeeping Department.

Calls for help

They were among the 12,111 soldiers from several countries assigned to the UN force.

Bangladesh was supplying UNMISS with 513 soldiers prior to the infusion of the new battalion.

The UN mission is being further augmented by 350 Japanese soldiers who began arriving in South Sudan last month.

Their primary role is to help build infrastructure in the war-ravaged country, but the Japanese troops will also guard UN bases and respond to calls for help from other UN personnel in South Sudan.
