Zimbabwe’s parliament has adopted a motion to debate last
month’s terrorist attacks at Nairobi’s Westgate mall that left 62 people
dead and 167 injured.
Movement for Democratic Change
(MDC) MP Gorden Moyo said the House “condemned the attacks on the
Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya.”
“Parliament expresses
its condolences to the families who lost their loved ones and our
solidarity with the people of Kenya at this trying time,” reads part of
the motion.
Authorities say no Zimbabweans were caught up in the attacks blamed on Somalia’s Al-Shabaab group.
However,
a Zimbabwean man, Norman Musimwa who has lived in Nairobi since 2011,
has told local media that he was at the Westgate Mall when the attacks
started.
He said he escaped unscathed but lost his vehicle.
