Counting The Losses: 10 Days On, Westgate Is Still the Biggest Thing Trending!

May the Lord rest the soul of Ruhila Adatia-Sood in eternal peace and may her death not go unavenged!
10 days on, the Westgate terrorist attack is still the biggest thing trending and with good reason. Kenyans were held hostage by some very cowardly individuals who claimed to be fighting in the name of a religion whose very meaning is peace: Islam.

And kenyans have only begun to rebuild their lives and take control of our destiny once again. Top Kenyan celebrities and personalities on twitter often referred to as “bigwigs” have been stoking the fire by sharing their stories of both despair and hope and have been encouraging Kenyans.

Just this morning, we carried the story about how Wahu’s daughter Tumiso would have been a victim had it not been for a twist of fate.
Robert alai who was instrumental in keeping Kenyans informed about the siege has been sharing videos about crimes perpetrated by the very people who were entrusted with the job of ridding Kenya of the terrorist scum.

And the list goes on and on about the reasons why Westgate is still trending and you can read some of the tweets we have sampled below:

Sad week for Kenya as more bodies are recovered at Westgate. But did it have to end that way?

@kareokey

MP’s want #Westgate looting to be investigated. I’m thinking they are feeling bad they didn’t get there first.
