- Ten years ago, members of the Somalia based Islamist group Al-Shabaab attacked a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi.
The ordeal left 67 people dead. It lasted for a tense four days. A thunderous explosion signalled the end of the siege leaving the attackers dead in the rubble.

Happened during my first visit in Kenya, Nairobi..horrifying
This was horrifying and deeply distressing!!
This was a dark day for us, sad memories 😢
We shall never forget 😢🇰🇪💔
Iam.somali girl i can.feel you kenyam people that is very pain how about a people every month kiling like that and even more then that those are somali people
@quruxleyqalanjo5485 kenya is in your country( Somalia) to 1.provide peace and stability
2.Combat the enemy Alshabaab so that they don't grow root and spread mayhem to our country.
As a fellow East African I expect you to support us to fight the common enemy..we are in this together💙 or else divided we lose
@@thedaveiknow.Kenya isn’t in Somalia
Amazing fact based reporting BBC. Let us never forget history no matter how dark, lest it repeats itself on our descendants.
Smh! Its a 10 year anniversary report 🤦🤦🤦
It has been a decade the day, the attack hapoened in Nairobi Westgate Mall killing 67 people. So tragic
I don't think BBC journalists talk like this when an attack like this or something more serious happens in Somalia.
Why did it took so many hours to reach mall don’t understand
Soo 😞 we pray for the people who lost their life there
We shall never forget
I was at my nephew's wedding when the attacks happen
people who pity hamas should also watch this
completly and uttertly disgusting i was in form 4 ( my last year in high shchool when this happened)
This has absolutely nothing to do with hamas. You're making a comparison based on false assumptions.
If you don't know what you're talking about then don't say it.
Police were slow to act
Not that slow on the looting spree though
😢😢😢😢😢😢
There is no other content except what happened ten years ago in Westgate shopping mall. Seriously!! Shame on you BBC.
It's a remembrance video 🙄
That was the day...when everything changed...for me.
Please how?
Did you lose a loved one or something
The way some people post provocative nothings for attention & then ignore replies for more details
And you find some Kenyans sympathising with Hamas.
None of you would believe me, but i was in the shopping mall during the attack! I was only 2 years old with my mom. I liked the guard next to the cooking competition before he died :(
mmeanza maneno ya zamani
Bruh everybody always report on this yearly even the Kenyan media (citizen)
Not much mention of Obi One Nairobi.
He wasn't there
You're lost boy
Nairobi has had many T attacks, Where british dude come 2 shine was in 2019
Get yo' sh!T together
78 hrs later!
After the attack president ruto hands over the military to the somalis
Why bring this up?🤷🏿♂️🤔🙄
Because its a 10 year anniversary
Iam very sorry what my uncle son did .10 years ago.
Your uncle son was one of the alshabaab guys who did this?
@user-gw5zp2bl3q yes sorry he is in hell jahanama today
Christian Craighead ? not a word
noone remembers Garissa university, which was more deadlier😢
So many Kenyans have lost their lives in these terror attacks, from 1998 US embassy bombing to Kikambala bombing,to terror attack in westgate, to garissa University terror attack to dusit 2 terror attack.So sad,help us God.
Ole lenku was a lame defence minister and an even worse governor.Westgate was a big turning point for Kenya
Ran out of stories to feature... it's recycling time
I don’t know why BBC sharing bad thing about Africa countries yesterday they were talking about South Africa and how bad it is now they talk about Kenya and how bad it is. Stop scaring people.
It’s likely because they were marking the 10th anniversary of the attack. I just got back from Nairobi, Kenya and it is one of my favourite places on earth.
Every news station share bad news because bad news gets more clicks
In the same breath show the breathtaking architectural infrastructure, the highlands, plateau,desert,islands,white sand beaches, I.T developments, athletes, the tropical weather throughout the year, the wins against the terrorist and most importantly the PEOPLE of KENYA. That is what I WOULD LOVE MAINSTREAM MEDIA HIGHLIHGHT.
That’s when I was a baby when it happened
Why is BBC broadcasting this 10 years after . You could have found more interesting things to report on, always making us look bad , high risk area .
no one is trying to make your country look bad, every reasonable person knows this is not a reflection of the country
@@shey1146 Most people are not reasonable.

As a kenyan, I wonder whether BBC lacked better content to upload about my peaceful and welcoming country! I know kenya has had and still continues to have its fair share of problems ranging from security to economic issues and also corruption! But kenyans together with the new government led by president Ruto are more determined than ever to make their country better and prosperous for all its citizens to live a happy and comfortable life too! 😊
Kenya might not be the best, but we are doing our best to make it the best country not just in Africa, but the whole world! Kenya to the world 💪👊
ur go all over youtube hating on South Africa but hate it when BBC uploads truth about ur country.
@@trayway9067terrorism has no place in this world!
who's hating on SA? @@trayway9067
What is wrong with BBC making this report?
They took a break to pray!!!! Pray!!!! Because they were doing Allahs will!!! What kind of religion is this?
Was this necessary
Western gun violence is not concentrated on 🤫💡💡
It is called BBC Africa not BBC western
Western propaganda 💡
