ICC drops Uhuru Kenyatta charges for Kenya ethnic violence
Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague have said they are withdrawing charges against Kenya's leader, Uhuru Kenyatta.
A statement said the evidence had "not improved to such an extent that Mr Kenyatta's alleged criminal responsibility can be proven beyond reasonable doubt".
President Kenyatta was indicted for crimes against humanity in connection with violence after elections in 2007.
He had denied the charges.
