It is lacking essential equipment, including helicopters, and considers itself vulnerable. On Monday, the U.S. embassy in Nairobi issued a travel warning that spoke of the arrest warrant as all but a sure thing. It said Europeans and Americans could be the target of "violent protests" if the warrant is delivered...
