The Dutch Major General Patrick Cammaert off duty, who has studied violence in Juba on behalf of the United Nations, ruled Tuesday that the UN soldiers themselves 'risk-averse' had drawn up. There was a complete lack of leadership, the peacekeepers were badly prepared and cooperation between the various components of the mission was flawed.
