Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague
have withdrawn charges of crimes against humanity against Kenya's
President Uhuru Kenyatta.
He had been indicted in connection with post-election ethnic violence
in 2007-08, in which 1,200 people died.
Mr Kenyatta, who had denied the charges, said he felt "vindicated".
The prosecutor's office said the Kenyan government had refused to hand
over evidence vital to the case.
Mr Kenyatta said he was "excited" and "relieved" at the dropping of charges.
"My conscience is absolutely clear," he said, adding that his case had
been "rushed there without proper investigation".
Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said her government would try to
have two other similar cases thrown out including one involving Deputy
President William Ruto.
