Ten years ago, members of the Somalia based Islamist group Al-Shabaab attacked a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
The ordeal left 67 people dead. It lasted for a tense four days. A thunderous explosion signalled the end of the siege leaving the attackers dead in the rubble.

@quruxleyqalanjo5485 kenya is in your country( Somalia) to 1.provide peace and stability 2.Combat the enemy Alshabaab so that they don't grow root and spread mayhem to our country. As a fellow East African I expect you to support us to fight the common enemy..we are in this together💙 or else divided we lose

This has absolutely nothing to do with hamas. You're making a comparison based on false assumptions. If you don't know what you're talking about then don't say it.

In the same breath show the breathtaking architectural infrastructure, the highlands, plateau,desert,islands,white sand beaches, I.T developments, athletes, the tropical weather throughout the year, the wins against the terrorist and most importantly the PEOPLE of KENYA.

As a kenyan, I wonder whether BBC lacked better content to upload about my peaceful and welcoming country! I know kenya has had and still continues to have its fair share of problems ranging from security to economic issues and also corruption! But kenyans together with the new government led by president Ruto are more determined than ever to make their country better and prosperous for all its citizens to live a happy and comfortable life too! 😊 Kenya might not be the best, but we are doing our best to make it the best country not just in Africa, but the whole world! Kenya to the world 💪👊
