On the morning of April 2nd 2015, Kenya and the whole world woke up to a rude shock after armed terrorists attacked Garissa University College located around 360km from Nairobi where they killed and wounded over 100 students. During the day-long ordeal, the terrorists took more than 800 students hostage; thankfully, more than 600 were rescued. The Garissa attack is a continuation of a very spirited effort by our enemies to divide us along religious lines. It was the most lethal terrorist attack on Kenya since the 1998 US Embassy bombing.
Young people who were about to enter into the world and contribute a lot in building a more united world through their service to humanity. Very sad to parents and guardians who had spent to the last of their coin to see their children get education, only to see their dreams cut shot by terrorists. We have come to learn that some of the casualties were already the breadwinners in their families and now it has become difficult for some families because their breadwinners are gone so soon.
