We must be vigilant until Shabaab is defeated

A Kenyan commando unit swings into action at the Dusit hotel complex terror attack site.

The dusitD2 hotel on 14 Riverside Drive, Nairobi, opens its doors to the public today. On January 15, 2019, the hotel came under a terrorist attack from the Somalia-based Al Shabaab militia group. In the attack, 21 people were confirmed dead. Thereafter, the hotel’s operations were stopped while reconstruction went underway.

While it is not our desire to relive those painful memories, we cannot wish away the reality of the danger that Al Shabaab still poses to our great country. Many have been the times that the atrocities of the militia group along our common border with Somalia have been reported.
