Fight against terrorism bearing fruit, more still needed to succeed

While it is true that there hasn’t been any gruesome terrorist attack in Kenya in the past 4 years, when it happens as it did this week on Dusit Hotel in Nairobi, no part of the nation remains unaffected by the militants’ thirst for violence.

While Westgate Mall attack was, in the end, defined by ineptitude and failure; characterized by slow response by police and turf wars between the army and police that led to a botched rescue operation, this week’s Dusit Hotel attack got a different response. The lessons have been learnt.
