Westgate attacks: Why Kenyan Muslims feel targeted? BBC Africa
Ten years ago, members of the Somali based Islamist group al-Shabab attacked a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi. The 78-hour ordeal left over 60 people dead.
The Kenyan Somali community felt they became the focus of the security forces. This led to a deterioration in relations between the two communities.
The BBC’s Bushra Mohamed is Kenyan Somali and explains how her community has been affected by the incidents that followed the attack.
