I think President Uhuru's and Raila Odinga's strategy of appealing to the international community not to place travel advisories to Kenya seems to be working.
In
this CNN article, the author has adopted an empathetic tone unlike previous times where they would declare Kenya unsafe.
I also read another article in the Daily Telegraph of the UK expressing hope that Kenya would recover from this. I have not seen this kind of 24/7 coverage of Kenya in this part of the world before.
There is widespread sympathy from western countries regarding the Westgate crisis. Part of it could be guilt-driven, seeing that some of the terrorists were nationals of First World countries.
But we should take advantage of this while it lasts.
RIP to those who lost their lives and quick recovery to the injured.
