NAIROBI http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-alex-chiasson-jersey , Sept. 21 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's First Lady Margaret Kenyatta on Thursday called on citizens to unite and forgive each other as the country commemorated the fourth anniversary of Westgate mall terror attack that claimed 67 lives.
Kenyatta, who led the nation in the memorial celebrations in Nairobi, said the memory of the September 21, 2013 Westgate attack brings much pain and sadness but reminds Kenyans to stand together in solidarity against terrorism.
She said the attack shattered and changed the lives and dreams of affected people forever. Those affected included fathers, mothers, sons http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-aaron-ness-jersey , brothers and daughters.
Kenyatta said the memory also serves as a day when Kenyans were inspired by the courage and sacrifice of many patriots whose lives are a true testament of the endurance and strength of the human spirit.
The First Lady also launched a second blood donation mobile unit donated by the National Health Service of the United Kingdom under their partnership with Kenya's BloodLink Foundation.
"I appreciate the work they are doing in raising awareness on the importance of blood donation to prevent unnecessary health risks and deaths," said Kenyatta.
She expressed confidence over the positive spirit by Kenyans to support causes that touch the lives of men and women, the youth and children, the elderly and vulnerable communities.
The Al-Shabaab militants claimed responsibility for the attack which it said was carried out in retaliation for Kenya's military intervention in Somalia.
The siege, which lasted more than two days, was one of the deadliest terror attacks in Kenyan soil in the past decade. Kenyan armed forces and scores of patriotic citizens risked their lives to stop the murderous and indiscriminate killings.
Westgate Mall which has since been renovated is a popular shopping mall frequented by members of the diplomatic community http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/ , Kenyans and foreign visitors.
During the anniversary, survivors also sent strong messages of national forgiveness, peace, unity and gratitude as the country marked the fourth anniversary of the massacre.
The survivors described the Westgate assault as a "cowardly terrorist act"- aimed at intimidating Kenyans - but from which they had emerged victorious
"We need peace, forgiveness and gratitude. We forgive them so that we can move on," said one of the victors http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-tyler-graovac-jersey , Shamim Allu, who was hit by a grenade and braved five bullets on the back, hand and legs and waited for four hours before help could reach her.
The memorial event took place amid heightened security following intelligence indicating the possibility of an attack by the extremists group.
Dharmesh Vaya who lost his wife and sister-in-law during the attack had 10 family members inside the mall, eight of them rescued alive by Kenyan armed forces and brave Kenyans like photo-journalist Joseph Mathenge who joined the rescuers for the love of a friend and country.
"It is difficult to forget, but let's forgive them. We cannot be thinking of what happened for ever", said Dharmesh http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-tom-wilson-jersey , adding that his three children and two others left by his sister-in-law have given him the motivation and reason to continue with life, Vaya said.

NANJING, China, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- Silver medalists from Asia avenged their gold medal opponents from the individual fencing events by uniting into one, strong family in the mixed continental team competition at the Youth Olympic Games.
A team made up of fencers from Japan http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-taylor-chorney-jersey , South Korea and Hong Kong, China captured the gold in a 30-26 match against their European opponents from Hungary, Poland, Russia and Italy, including four gold medalists from the individual events. The Asia group included three silver medalists, two of which had to face their gold medal rivals in the team final.
"It felt fantastic to play with teammates from other countries http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-t.j.-oshie-jersey ," said Choi Chun Yin Ryan of Hong Kong, China, after his successful bout against Andrzej Rzadkowski of Poland, the gold medalist in men's foil. "I was excited, but I did feel pressure because I had no idea how they would play."
The mixed continental team event is made up of six fencers, three men and three women http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-rod-langway-jersey , each fighting with their own type of weapon. In contrast to the team event that is featured at the Olympic Games, the Youth Olympic Games brought together fencers from different countries and regions based on their individual event rankings.
The Asia team was trailing 4-1 after the men's epee and women's foil bouts, but Kim Dongju of South Korea was determined to seek revenge on Ivan Ilin of Russia, who took the gold medal in men's sabre, and registered 14 touches to Ilin's 10 to give the Asia team a 15-14 lead.
Choi, who lost the gold medal in a close 15-13 bout the night before http://www.washingtoncapitalsteamstore.com/adidas-philipp-grubauer-jersey , came back strong and raised the score to 25-21 with his seven touches.
"I felt like I took my revenge," Choi said. "Actually I thought I might be better than him (in the individual event) but I failed to grasp the chance yesterday. Today's result proved that I can beat him and I am capable of being a champion."
Choi's efforts gave fourth place finisher Misaki Emura of Japan the perfect platform to challenge gold medalist Alina Moseyko of Russia. Emura ended yesterday's event in tears, but there were no tears in the team event as she matched Moseyko's five touches and led her team to the total 30 points th.
