Gunmen are currently (Saturday 21, 2013 – 1500hrs) holding hostages at Nairobi’s premier shopping mall, Westgate, at Westlands.

According to some reports, at least 5 people have lost their lives, and several others injured. There is still no clear report on what’s the number of gunmen, and what their demands might be.
A good number of hostages have been let go and whatever is the gunmen’s game plan is only a matter of speculation.

There has been unconfirmed reports that the Village Market has been shut down as  precautionary measure.
Keep it here for more.

Here are some photos from Westgate. Not everyone may be comfortable.
