GARISSA UNIVERSITY ATTACK ORDEAL EIGHT YEARS LATER

On 2 April 2015, four gunmen stormed Kenya's Garissa University College and began firing indiscriminately. At the end of the ordeal, 147 victims lay dead; two soldiers, three staff and 142 students.

The world reacted in utter horror. The Al-shabaab militants took credit for this heinous attack with demands that Kenyan Forces leave Somalia.

Today marks eight year since this attack - the second deadliest on Kenyan soil. While the scars of the family, friends and relatives
might have or might not have healed we commiserate with them on this day. I am personality emotional holding it in and thanking God for sparing the life of my elder brother Ronnie Chirchir(@ronniechirchir).
