My names are Abdirahman k., i am a Kenyan by
birth, i love my country more than anything else
and not a moment will i trade Kenya with any
other country, we are all crying over what
happened, we lost friends, we lost country men
and women.
Since Saturday afternoon, i wasn't able to focus
not at work not at school, Kenyans on Facebook
were exchanging harsh words of hatred till now,
rather than coming together and showing
solidarity we keep on arguing and cursing each
other.
I swear a true Kenyan, a true patriot will never
even for a second argue and blame the other on
the tragedy that has befallen our country, it is
time to show who we truly are by going out
there and helping our country recover and get
back on its more than 42 strong poles.
I am a Muslim, my best friend is a Christian and
my classmates are from all backgrounds of our
diverse beautiful Kenyan cultures, we all love
our country to equal measures, we ought to brag
to the rest of the world and not face each other
because of cowards who have no sense of
direction.
It has been reported that Muslims were sorted
out of the hostages, don’t we realize this is just
a stupid trick? This people only wanted to cause
differences between us, for us to think Muslims
were sorted out because they are the ones
behind all this, but all I remain with only one
wish, that I could show my Kenyan blood
brothers and sisters how we all grieved and our
hearts sunk immediately the news spread that
our beloved Nairobi was under attack, my fellow
countrymen this people are taking advantage of
us, they know of our strong bond as a country
and now it seems like they have succeeded
because we are already arguing and blaming
each other, why do we have to fall for such a
cheap joke? All they wanted was Kenya to fall
apart and we must not allow that to happen.
For now all we need is prayers, lets pray for our
country Kenya and lets pray that our security
forces succeed in apprehending this terrorists.
May the Soul of every lost Kenyan in that attack
rest in peace.
Forever Kenya, forever our beloved country..
I end my letter with a few lines from a song .
“I care about you
And I wish you could realise
There's no difference between us two
We're part of one family
No matter how far you are
And even if we don’t know each other
Oh, you and me, me and you, we are one
Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
We're one big family
Oh, you're my brother
You're my sister
Just one big family”
