None
UNITED NATIONS- United Nations peacekeeping chief Herve Ladsous said on Wednesday troops would be sent home from a UN mission in South Sudan due to their response to deadly violence at a compound.
The United Nations said on Tuesday that an inquiry found that confusion over command and control and rules of engagement marred the response by peacekeepers to fighting in February at a UN compound in Malakal where nearly 50,000 civilians were sheltering.
During the two-day incident at least 30 civilians were killed and 123 people wounded. Aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres accused the UN peacekeeping mission, known as UNMISS, on Tuesday of taking up to 16 hours to act.
