It's about time that Africans had a serious conversation about the scourge of religion in African society.

The death toll is now 70.
Was following the story this morning. I hear they claim its Al-shabab Islamists from neighboring Somalia that may be responsible.
Just think about it, you wake up in the comfort of your bed, in a relatively safe haven like a university campus and next thing...you may be dead simply because of your religious inclination.
This world is just becoming unsafe as times goes by.

Joel Ayora, who was on the campus and witnessed the attack, said gunmen burst into a Christian service. Taking hostages from the service, they then "proceeded to the hostels, shooting anybody they came across except their fellows, the Muslims."

The attackers separated students by religion, allowing Muslims to leave and keeping an unknown number of Christians hostage, Agence France-Presse reported.


"We were sleeping when we heard a loud explosion that was followed by gunshots and everyone started running for safety," student Japhet Mwala said.

"There are those who were not able to leave the hostels where the gunmen headed and started firing. I am lucky to be alive because I jumped through the fence with other students."

Eventually, as many as 50 students were freed, and at least 65 people were hospitalized from the attack, the Kenyan Red Cross said.

Nine hours after the attack began, heavy gunfire and explosions continued, said Dennis Okari of CNN affiliate NTV.

To stem the increase in the wave of terrorism threatening the globe and humanity today......the world would need to rein in both The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Iran.......they are the ones fueling these jihadist causes around the globe in their quest to enthrone the suptemacy of either Shia or sunni branch of Islam.....
These fundamentalist groups are proxies used to wage these battles off the shores of their countries.....

Al-Jazeera English

The al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabab group said their gunmen were holding Christian hostages inside the complex in revenge for Nairobi's troops fighting in Somalia.

The gunmen divided students at the university between Muslims and non-Muslims, letting the Muslim students go, the group's spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage told AFP news agency by telephone.

Rage said the armed group had targeted Kenya for its involvement African Union mission against al-Shabab in Somalia.

"When our men arrived, they released some people, the Muslims, and it is them that alerted the government. We are holding the others hostage," he said, adding those seized were Christians, but not saying how many there were.

Russia Today..

Somali Islamist group Al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility for the assault, saying it was holding Christians hostage inside the university.

Al Shabaab's spokesman Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab said the gunmen were holding Christian hostages inside. "We sorted people out and released the Muslims," he told Reuters.

The gunmen allegedly entered the university as students were heading to morning prayers. The attackers reportedly posed as worshipers among the students, and then started shooting indiscriminately.


Horrible....but as a Christian I do not blame all Muslims for the crimes of a few.

Man is an argumentative species.

People will forever disagree but religion provides a safe zone for irrational thought and actions, a place where it cannot be challenged.

Rarely is religion anything but a barrier against open discussion and progress.

As a Christian,topics like these are very painful
Why are these people always killing Christians for no reason and yet claim their religion is peaceful
How can that be?
Where is the outcry from the Muslim world and what message are they sending out to their adherents on the violence that has become synonymous with their religion?
The one Muslin that posted here came out to deny Christians were targeted telling us Muslims were the ones targeted and killed.
A blatant lie by all indications
That speaks volumes

Thank you. Bushdoc9919...thank you too. I was following it intermittently on Al-jazeera and not online. Just finished reading it now.

Still I do not subscribe to the idea of classifying all Muslims as terrorists because of the actions of these terrorist organisations.

I have beautiful relationships with Muslims.

argon500:
Two guards were killed and several people injured after gunmen attacked Garissa University College in northeast Kenya on Thursday morning.

Kenya Red Cross officials say at least 30 people, including two policemen were injured by the attackers and have been rushed to hospital.

The gunmen are said to have attacked the institution around 5.30am Thursday.

Unconfirmed reports state that students may have been taken hostage.

Nation.co.ke reporter Abdimalik Hajir said he saw the bodies of the guards near the university's main gate.

Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet said there was a shootout between attackers and police officers who were guarding the students’ hostels.

"The attackers shot indiscriminately while inside the university compound.

“However, the attackers retreated and gained entry into the hostels….a joint force composed of NPS officers and other security agencies arrived and are engaged in an elaborative process of flushing out the gunmen from the hostels,” he said in a statement posted on his Twitter account.

KDF and police have entered the university’s compound.
