Today in 2016, Kenya lost over 150 soldiers in the Battle of El Adde after Al Shabaab overran their Amisom base.
Same date last year, Al Shabaab killed 21 people at the Dusit Hotel in Nairobi.
Between December 1 and today, more than 25 people have been killed in terror attacks.— Oliver Mathenge (@OliverMathenge) January 15, 2020

Today marks one year since the tragic Dusit attack left at least 14 people dead and scores injured.
Painfully Sad. Families and friends lost loved ones. I lost two good friends.
We should never allow their deaths to be in vain. #RememberingDusit

This is an important reminder by @samirasawlani on how the more things change the more they remain the same. It’s a year since #dusit was attacked and #Alshabaab continues to flourish in conducting attacks across the country. https://t.co/Rl4gN2AN3L
