Ghanaian poet and diplomat Kofi Awoonor, (pictured left) was among the 59 killed during the attack on Westgate Mall in Kenya yesterday. He was in Nairobi as a participant in the Storymoja Hay Festival, a 4-day celebration of writing, thinking and storytelling. The Ghanaian govt confirmed his death early Sunday morning. He was 78 years old. His son was also shot, but was not killed.
Also the president's nephew, Mbugua and his fiance Wahito (both pictured right) were killed in the attack yesterday.

Over 1,000 people have so far been evacuated from the mall, but an unknown number of hostages are still trapped inside with the terrorists believed to be about 15. Kenyan security forces have been locked in a standoff with gunmen since yesterday. Gun shots have been heard all morning in the area.

Heavily armed Islamic extremists pulled up in several cars yesterday and shot their way into the most upmarket shopping centre in Nairobi, ordering Muslims out if they could prove their religion by reciting a prayer or answering a question on Islam. They started killing those who failed the test.

BBC reported that at least one of the attackers was a woman who had some kind of leadership role.

I am not against Islam or any other religion, but when u hear statement such as the one that was made by those terrorists " we escorted all the Muslims out before we started attacking the mall.

Makes me wonder is Islam the kind of religion one should be practicing. The sh!t that angers me the most is the promise of 72 virgins when they get to heaven. They mean to tell me that the life of Christians are not worthy that they can be slaughtered like animals. I know Islam sympathizers will come over here and spew the same bullcrap about it not Islam belief to kill innocent, that it only the extremes that kill innocent people.

The fact still remains that the religion was founded on violence and murder and it's founder was the biggest rapest and murderer at his time. Seems the followers are just continuing the tradition

They do, I knew some people were going to say that but the religion was founded on violence and it seems that most Muslims are prone to violence. Why escort Muslims out before attacking and how come those Muslims that were escorted did not alert the authorities.

Just today, a suicide bomber killed 72 people in a church in Pakistan. Tell me why target a church, if it is not motivated by religion.

You are definitely against Islam or any other religion that is not yours, if not you would think for a moment how it is possible for the terrorists to identify all the Muslims they escorted out before they started attacking the mall. If Muslims are so bad and violent as you want us to believe, then you should be dead by now..tell me you have never had a Muslim friend in your life.

Stop being stupid it is a stamens that was made by the terrorist and not me. Do your research before coming over here to spew hatred. I have family members that are Muslims, I join my friend and family to celebrate Ramadan. The religion was founded on violence and it is the same tradition that is followed by followers of Islam.

they told the muslims to speak arabic or recite the koran . .if any cld do any of the following, they will be escorted out by the militants

Onila, make I no swear for u o!

They were killing, but sparing the muslims (the one that could prove) and u are here telling me that they don't represent Islam....what religion are they representing then.....Rastafari, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism,Candomblé, Hinduism, Paganism........

It is annoying when some set of Muslim on NL wouldn't come on board to rebuke acts like this, but busy rebuking decent and religious Muslim Beauty Pageant Innovation.....which one is preaching Islam?

It seems people like Maclatunji prefer Islam being associated with Killings to association with decent beauty pageant!

They asked the people in the mall to translate Arabic, and asked them if they knew the name of Prophet Muhammad's mother.

If you could not answer either of those questions, you were killed.

They do not, Islam does not promote such evil and stupidity. They will be judged by Allah/God. This is a human act. What you said is naive. It is like saying Christianity supports bigotry or slavery. Anyways may the victims rest in peace
