En eksplosion [1] ramte mandag eftermiddag en af Nairobis hovedveje, Moi Avenue, i Kenyas hovedstad. Indledende undersøgelser peger på, at eksplosionen skyldtes en elektrisk fejl i området. Kenyas politikommissær har afvist rygter om bombeangreb forbundet med Al-Shabaab.
Kenya har været ramt af en serie af bombe- og granatangreb [2] siden landets militære indtrængen i Somalia mod Al-Shabaab, døbt “Opreration Linda Nchi” (“Operation Forsvar Landet” på swahili).
Netbrugere diskuterer tragedien og deler informationer under hashtaggene #NairobiBlast [3] og #MoiAvenueBlast [4] på twitter.

@careywinnie [12]: oh God,i hope my movie stalls friends are ok and everyone else!! #NairobiBlast #moiavenue wtf happened?
@jowac50 [13]: RT #NairobiBlast Police boss Mathew Iteere says explosion caused by electrical fault – Reports
@Fionaakumu [14]: The words “blasts” and “explosions” need to be re-examined. Since when did they become synonymous to each other? #MoiAvenueBlast
Regeringens uansvarlighed:
@tonybkaranja [15]: We really need a disaster management plan that's not just on paper #nairobiblast
@MisterAlbie [16]: Again our lack of proper disaster awareness and preparedness bites us in our behinds. #Firehydrants etc #MoiAvenueBlast
@TeamKonshens1 [17]: Just shows how incompetent our Emergency response teams are!! Looks like a movie on live TV! #NairobiBlast
@iCabway [18]: #MoiAvenueBlast reminds us why fire hydrant installation MUST be enforced in this troubled age. African cities are hopeless in that regard.
Plyndringer midt i tragedien:
@iAMneshynsky [19]: Looters doing what they know best on moi avenue #NairobiBlast
@rmunene [20]: Kenyans “siphoning” shoes and clothes from the stalls at the scene of the blast. #nairobiBlast #KTNLiveStream
Politiets ineffektivitet:
@ArybaStacks [21]: I don't know why police are still allowing people along the whole Moi Av. stretch… What if there is a second blast? #MoiAvenueBlast
@Mwanikih [22]: Cops making a bad situation worse by forcefully trying to evacuate the crowds. Now guys are shouting “Mlikua wapi?” [where were you?] #NairobiBlast
Kenyas Politi siger [23], at de 27 mennesker der kom til skade under eksplosionen er under behandling.
