Press Statement
John Kerry
Secretary of State
Washington, DC
August 7, 2014
Today marks the 16th anniversary of the cowardly terrorist attacks on
the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, that
killed over 200 and wounded thousands more. We commemorate those who
were lost that day, honor the lives they lived, and extend our
condolences to the loved ones they left behind.
Today’s anniversary is a somber reminder of the continued terrorist
threat that we face on the African continent and around the world, and
an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to partner with our allies to
confront it. At the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit that concluded yesterday,
the United States and leaders from across Africa confirmed our shared
commitment to the continent’s security and recommitted our resolve to
address threats—in East Africa and more broadly—so that we and our
partners can enjoy peace and security.
