Kenya (catch all)

[davidbfpo]

For African "hands" I doubt the allegations made in a Kenyan newspaper will come as a surprise; the sub-title:

It can now be revealed that the KDF stole cash and other miscellaneous items worth millions of shillings from the westgate mall. This happened during a rescue operation to end the recent siege by Al shabaab militants.

Not surprising but always so sad to hear, especially since the article says the Kenyan Police figure many fewer people would have died if the army had kept out of it.

It's bad on another level too. When this kind of thing happens, people figure why bother with Africa?
