Hard-line Muslims on the outskirts of Nairobi attacked a Christian widow’s children, ages 13, 17 and 21, leaving two of them seriously injured and still in pain 11 days after the assault on 17 November.
Hadiya (surname withheld), an immigrant from Somalia (where all Somalis are assumed Muslim), had not yet returned from a trip to a funeral when the assailants of Somali descent broke into her home at 5.30am.
Hadiya’s 17-year-old daughter was asleep in her room, while the brothers were asleep in the front room, when the Muslim gang knocked on their door.
