lol a Nigerian in the mall

Uche Kaigwa-Okoye: 'We were really scared'

Uche Kaigwa-Okoye was sipping coffee when he heard what first sounded like a fallen table, then the continuing rat-a-tat of gunfire. As the gunshots became louder, screaming crowds headed for the exits.
He joined 20 people who took shelter for about five hours in a women's bathroom cubicle.
"We were really scared," he said. "Every sound sounded scary. We couldn't make out sounds, and they had grenades. It was really, really loud ... They must have passed our corridor several times. We heard gunshots down our corridor," he told CNN.
Some people ventured out but quickly returned, saying it was unsafe.
Kaigwa-Okoye heard firing but then realized police had arrived on the floor where he was hiding in the restroom. They were firing tear gas.
Officers told them to walk out single file and made them throw away their bags.

Islam a religion of peace

pls africa-down pls explain

The Quran also contains at least 109 verses that call Muslims to war with
nonbelievers for the sake of Islamic rule. Some are quite graphic, with commands to chop off heads and
fingers and kill infidels wherever they may be hiding. Muslims who do not join the fight are
called 'hypocrites' and warned that Allah will send them
to Hell if they do not join the slaughter. ,

the siege


The terrorist attack began at midday Saturday, Nairobi time, with an estimated 10 to 15 gunmen taking over the mall in what hospital volunteer Abiti Shah said witnesses told her was "like a Hollywood action scene."
"They just started firing in the air," Shah said, retelling the witness accounts.
A youth cooking competition was taking place at the mall at the time, and terrified shoppers fled for their lives as gunfire echoed through the building.
Witnesses said the gunmen went from store to store, shooting people, and then took hostages.
Survivor Bendita Malakia, a North Carolina woman who moved to Nairobi in July, told CNN affiliate WAVY that she took refuge behind the closed metal gates of a store with dozens of others.
The Kenyan spirit cannot be broken, says eyewitness resident
"While we were back there, you could hear them methodically going from store to store, talking to people and asking questions," she said. "They were shooting, screaming. Then it would stop for a while and they would go to another store."
Al-Shabaab has claimed that the attackers targeted non-Muslims and vowed they would not negotiate for the hostages' lives. CNN security analyst Peter Bergen said the terrorists apparently took hostages only to prolong the siege and win more media attention.
The dead
Most of the dead were said to be Kenyans.
Six British citizens, two French nationals, two Indians and two Canadians, including a diplomat, also died, their governments said.
Those killed include:
• A 33-year-old Dutch woman, said Friso Vijnen, according to a Dutch Foreign Affairs Ministry official.
• A major African poet, author and Ghanian statesman, Kofi Awoonor, Ghana's president said. Awoonor received his Ph.D. from New York's Stony Brook University and was a professor of literature there in the 1970s.
• The nephew of Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and the man's fiancee.
• A Peruvian doctor, Juan Jesus Ortiz, who had previously worked for the United Nations Fund for Children and lived in Kenya doing consulting work, the country's Foreign Affairs Ministry said.
• Sridhar Natarajan, 40, an Indian national and employee of a local pharmaceutical firm, and 8-year-old Paramshu Jain, the son of a bank branch manager, CNN sister network CNN-IBN reported, citing government officials in New Delhi.

Kenyan police vow to 'finish and punish' Westgate Mall terrorists

Night fell Monday in Nairobi with no clear resolution of the standoff between Kenyan forces and terrorists at Westgate Shopping Mall.
Kenyan authorities sounded increasingly confident that they had brought the three-day standoff to a close with a final assault Monday, reassuring a nervous public that there was little chance of escape for any surviving Al-Shabaab gunmen who had terrorized the mall, killing at least 62 people.
"Taken control of all the floors. We're not here to feed the attackers with pastries but to finish and punish them," Kenyan police Inspector General David Kimaiyo said on Twitter.
But Kenyan security forces suspect several gunmen remain inside the besieged Westgate mall in Nairobi, a senior Kenyan official said. A sweep of the complex was expected to continue Tuesday.
It wasn't clear Monday night whether any hostages remained inside the four-story mall, and authorities had yet to sound the all-clear hours after the assault by Kenyan forces.
Gunfire echoed from the mall sporadically during the day, sending journalists and aid workers scrambling for cover. Thick heavy smoke -- from a fire set by terrorists, according to Kenyan authorities -- billowed into the air much of the afternoon.
More than 200 civilians have been rescued, the military said.
Away from the mall, Kenyan authorities said they had arrested more than 10 people for questioning in connection with the attack, including at least four taken into custody at an airport.
Authorities urged law enforcement officers to closely scrutinize travelers' documents, and the country's Immigration Department said in a tweet that it had increased security at entry and exit points.

[quote author=africa-down]somalis in ethiopia and kenya dont even refer to themselves as kenyan or ethiopian. Because all somalis whether they are born in somalia or not are somali citizens because of their ethnicity.

Kenya and Ethiopian are nationalities anyone can be kenyan or ethiopian. But you have to be born to be a somali. To be a Somali takes thousands of years of Warior blood to create a single somali.

This is why our hair is soft, because it fears us so it lies in submission. [/quote]sharrap!

I have met many somalis who are proud to be Kenyan. They might acknowledge their Somali roots but the ones I have met Rep kenya more than somalia. .Most of them have never been to Somalia sef

maybe because I have met only the rich Somali-Kenyans. who are studying abroad and not really into the whole somali pride thingy

i wonder if they make a movie about this... with black africa people saving white european people

lol kwame

This man is a true Muslim. Defending his home and his people from terrorism.

He is Somali Kenyan. And like him the majority of Somalis are peace loving and hard working.He's the son of former defense minister Yusuf Hajji.

[quote author=africa-down]thats cowardly. If i were you i would try to fight them and die with honor, but your a negroid, so am not surprised. This is why your race has always been slaves in every corner of the globe.[/quote]fight with armed men

they were targeting non-Muslims. i'm afraid being an atheist wouldn't do you any good.

[quote author=africa-down]well if i was there, they would have let me go like they did to all the somalis inside the mall that they escorted out before attacking

but if you were there, i doubt you would run away without stealing some hair pieces.[/quote]hehe idi0t

i will just look for the best place to hide

Monicasque: i am sure u do knnow that SA is number 1, Nigeria number 2 and India number 3 so we are not in any way better than them when it comes to HIV

those are just numbers, use yr head

Nigeria is not even top 10 aids infested countries in Africa

but in S africa more than 40 percent of the population are infected, way too high for a country that does not have many pple like Nigeria

Nigeria is not up to 10 percent
