Following the attack at the Westgate Mall on Saturday, 21st September, 2013, multiple security teams have been engaged in securing the mall and have succeeded in containing the attackers. This brought to an end the anxiety caused by the 5 day siege that left 67 dead among them six security officers and 240 people were injured.
2013年9月21日，肯尼亚内罗毕西门商场(Westgate Mall)发生了一起袭击事件。截止今天，在肯尼亚安全组织的努力下，袭击者已被彻底控制。在这五天内的袭击中，共有67人罹难，240人受伤。
While addressing the nation yesterday (24th September, 2013) after the successful operation, President Uhuru Kenyatta vowed that he would stand firm against terrorism and those behind the attack would be punished "swiftly" and "very painfully. The President took the opportunity to celebrate the dedication of the Kenyan security teams, condole with the families who lost loved ones as well as appreciate everyone who volunteered their time and their resources towards resolving the needs of the crisis. He also declared a 3 day mourning period beginning today during which the national flag will fly half mast.
9月24日，肯尼亚总统乌胡鲁·肯雅塔声明肯尼亚政府将坚决与恐怖势力斗争到底，深切慰问了罹难家属，并对肯尼亚的安全组织以及每一位在此次危机事件无私奉献的友人提出了赞扬。乌胡鲁·肯雅塔同时还宣布从25日起全国降半旗哀悼3天。
The President has reassured both Kenyans and the international community that the Government will not relent until the perpetrators are brought to book. He applauded the ‘#WeAreOne’ spirit of the Kenyan people that has been demonstrated through the overwhelming support through blood donations, sharing of financial resources among others.
肯尼亚总统还向肯尼亚人民及国际友人做出保证，肯尼亚政府将会全力调查此次恐怖事件。他高度赞扬了肯尼亚人民在危难前临危不惧，团结互助的精神。在此期间，肯尼亚民众自发进行捐献以及献血等活动，帮助受困群众及后方人员。
While the incident affected various nationals, its notable that there haven’t been travel advisories that directly discourage travel to Kenya but rather there was advice to keep off the affected shopping mall as well as crowded areas (which is normal). Most foreign missions and governments continue to show support to Kenya and the affected citizens and they take cognizance of the fact that terrorism is a global issue.
虽然此次事件之严重震惊了国际社会，但令人欣慰的是，大多的旅行社都只选择取消了与事发商场相关的行程，而非全部行程。大多国际组织以及政府也认识到恐怖主义是国际问题，并始终如一地给肯尼亚以及肯尼亚民众以支持与帮助。

Kenya Tourism Board Efforts
肯尼亚旅游局的行动
KTB was part of the teams supporting the many Kenyans and residents of all races who have come forward to donate blood. KTB and other government agencies in the Ministry of East African Affairs, Commerce and Tourism hosted a hospitality tent on site to provide snacks and drinks to both the security teams at the blood donation venue as well as the blood donors. In addition, KTB will be making a donation through the efforts of staff to the Kenya Road Cross to enable the purchase of various medical supplies to enhance coping with the large numbers that have turned out to donate blood, post attack trauma counseling as well as sending messages of support to those affected using local media channels. KTB also continues to engage the local media to win back Kenyans to enjoying their own country through local travel, shopping and other activities that indeed confirm that Kenya is safe.
