Kenyan First Lady Margaret Kenyatta urged the country’s citizens to continue helping each other heal the wounds left by an attack by Islamist militants on a Nairobi shopping mall a year ago.

The country is approaching the first anniversary of the gun and grenade attack on the Westgate shopping center on Sept. 21 by four al-Shabaab militants. At least 67 civilians and security personnel died during the four-day siege, in addition to the gunmen, and 200 people were injured, according to the government.
