On Tuesday April 2nd 2015, The Al Shebaab militant group burst into Garissa University College in the Kenyan town of Garissa and killed nearly 147 students.
Al Shebaab is a Somalian Ismlamic extremist group that is one of the most violent franchises of Al Qaeda. With the town of Garissa is about 90 miles from the Somali border with high population of ethnic Somalians,making it an easy target for the group.
Barely two years ago in 2013, this same group held siege of one of Kenya's fanciest malls killing 63 people. They have since then killed hundreds of Kenyans on country buses, in churches and in remote coastal towns.
Yesterday's senseless attack took the lives of young Kenyans, who were aiming to get an education. My heartfelt condolence and prayers to my Kenyan brothers and sisters especially those who lost loved ones in the attack.
