Jesuits of Eastern Africa Province
Condemns the Westgate attack
As
Jesuits of Eastern Africa Province, we highly condemn these heinous and
cowardly acts by the attackers, believed to be part of the al-Shabaab militant
group. We stand firmly with the Kenyan government and support their efforts in
ending this ordeal and the wider menace of terror.
Our
thoughts and prayers are with the bereaved families, survivors of the attacks
and the hostages still trapped within the mall. It is terrors like these, in
Kenya and around the world, that undermine the very values and way of life that
we try to promote.
They
reinforce the need for us to continue advocating for peace and justice. We
therefore strongly reiterate our commitment to peace and a faith that does
justice and that the security of all Kenyans is paramount.
We
ask that our brothers and sisters around the world keep the people of this
great nation in their prayers. We are hopeful that the good Lord will bring
these atrocities to an end.
