Early this year, a terrorist attack by Al Shabaab militants claimed 21 lives at a hotel in Nairobi. The luxury Westlands hotel, DusitD2, welcomed business travellers and other tourists seeking to enjoy themselves as they passed through our city. The deadly attack on January 15, 2019 aimed to frighten the nation, and deter foreign visitors and investors. Six months on, we can say loudly that they did not succeed.
