Mpeketoni bounces back after 2014 terror attacks

Much has changed in the town of Mpeketoni, Lamu, since the events of the night of June 15, 2014, but the spirit of courage and resilience rises to the skies like a pier defying a storm.

On that day, terror struck the usually busy town, leaving more than 90 people dead in an attack by Al-Shabaab militants.

That attack left lasting scars, with women plunged into widowhood and children left fatherless. Property worth millions of shillings was also destroyed after the attackers torched shops and fuel stations, leaving investors counting losses.
