....residing or visiting in a location in Kenya pay during the times these madmen attack.

on the Indian ocean; it's a beautiful area with many good people.
Lamu town is one of the oldest Swahili settlements in Africa. Founded in 1390 it is a Unesco World Heritage Site and has been a tranquil and safe tourist destination until fairly recently.
So sad for Kenya and for the world.

reminds me of Westgate Mall

NAIROBI, Kenya—Gunmen attacked a town in a popular local tourist region along Kenya's Indian Ocean coast, killing an estimated 48 people, officials said Monday. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, which occurred late Sunday in a region with a long history of tribal conflict. But Kenyan authorities immediately blamed al-Shabaab, a Somali militant group that is allied with al Qaeda and has claimed responsibility for scores of attacks in Kenya, including last year's four-day assault on a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.

Two Nissan minibuses drove into the center of the small town of Mpeketoni at about 8 p.m. and gunmen jumped out and started shooting people, Kenya's Interior Ministry said. They also attacked and set fire to at least two hotels—Breeze View and Taweel, according to the government disaster operations center.

Police fought against the assailants into the evening as surveillance planes took to the air overhead. Television footage showed burned-out buildings, torched cars and bodies piled on top of each other.

Kenyan military spokesman Maj. Emmanuel Chirchir said fighting had subsided by Monday morning and the assailants had "retreated back to the forest." He said it was unclear how many attackers there were, but that officials believed it was between 20 and 30.

This is horrible.

Al-Shabab terrorists in Kenya killed nine more people overnight Tuesday. It happened in the same Kenyan coastal area where the Somali militant group slaughtered 48 people Sunday night.

The Islamist group says the attack was in response to Kenya’s “brutal oppression of Muslims in Kenya.” Witnesses say the gunmen singled out non-Muslims during the attack, going door to door demanding to know if the men inside were Muslim and if they spoke Somali.

The merciless tactics were reminiscent of al-Shabab’s attack on an upscale mall in Kenya’s capital city of Nairobi last September. At least 67 people were killed in that assault, some of them after not being able to answer questions about Islam.

Al-Shabab is warning tourists to stay away from Kenya, saying that the once peaceful east Africa nation “is now officially a war zone.”

It's one thing when the white, the Western, and the wealthy are under attack.

It's apparently quite another when it's just some everyday Kenyans.
