 All right, we're just quickly going to go straight into today in history this day in 2013 the 21st of September was a very very sad day Across the world, you know, but mostly in Kenya. It has become popularly popularly known as the Westgate shopping mall attack We're about 70 plus people were killed on this day when our Shabaab terrorists attacked the mall It says about 68 I believe You know civilians were killed for terrorists and a couple of also Those numbers also include us about the police men who went in to help rescue these You know victims of a terrorist attack Of course the our Shabaab terror group that was that for me was the first one that I heard about them Claimed responsibility for the attack and said it was mostly because of Kenya And Kenya's efforts in Somalia that I've continued to attack the group where they were originally I believe founded It was a very very sad day. Sad, you know moment that lasted for almost 24 hours Where of course, you know, there were also bombs that were thrown grenades were used a part of the mall also collapsed Some of the people were taken hostage for so long and of course some early executed by these terrorists before they were completely before they eventually killed And of course the Kenyan government did go ahead with investigation I rested a couple of people that were accomplices, you know, what how housed the terrorists before they went on to carry out the attacks You know, I'm not sure if anybody has been sent to jail in particular. I need to confirm that But yeah, it was a very very sad day in Kenya And across Africa, yes, so this particular event was Was considered one of the deadliest you had is the attack in Kenya Reports say that these terrorists occupy the West Gate more for four days I mean, can you just imagine and the fact that soldiers who went in there to provide help and rescue Also turned out to be victims and three people were pointed out as suspects Two of them got prison sentences one got 18 years in prison another one got 33 years in prison and The third guy Yes, the third guy. Yes, they were accused of aiding the slammest sect and the third guy went missing You know, it was just a very very sad day This al-Shabaab group based in Somalia really accusing Kenya of mailing in in the affairs in Somalia And then you know carried out this attack the exact number of casualties are still on the term and some say over 70 Maybe to report say 67, but it really is 200 I think it also is about 150 200 were injured I mean, it's just so terrible But the good thing is that this attack happened September 21st about a month later October 28th That was when you know, this these guys were sentenced to 18 and 33 years in prison But I don't think it's something anyone will forget in such a hurry Across the world, I think it made headlines across the world pretty much same thing with the London bombing The attack in France. Yes, there's certainly events terrorist attacks that you know have made headlines across the world and everybody followed through the front and the France one the Australian shooting also the London bombing of course world the World Trade Center attacks also there's many of them like that But this one definitely made those headlines across the world and it happened on this day in Kenya in 2013 Our first major conversation for today comes up right after this break We're gonna be talking zoning and how you know, this all plays out with the next general elections There's already been conversations from the northern coalition northern forums The middle belt also has been urged to also have their say the southeast very likely also would be chipping in here And we'll be talking about the little details here and there when we come back
