5:30am.
Armed assailants ambush Moi University Garissa campus.
Their mission?
To cut short lives whose only crime was an insatiable hunger for knowledge.
They shot our comrades.
They’ve deprived us of brothers and sisters.
The world will never be the same again,
Because 205 soldiers have fallen.
Their sole weapon, a pen and paper.
We may point fingers.
We may feel neglected.
But brighter times await us ahead.
A time when we will fight terrorism, not by arms, but by the same pen and paper is nigh.
A time will come, when all the 205 souls will smile from heaven, Acknowledging the great deeds those of us who have been left behind.
Pain is meant to be felt.
So I won’t ask anyone not to weep.
But do not let your tears drain you
For you will need that energy to avert the occurrence of such an incident in future.
Together we weep.
United we fight terror.
To our fallen soldiers,
May your elite souls find eternal peace.
Fare the well comrades.
You will be highly missed.
This is a dedication to all students and relatives of the 205 students who lost their lives in the Garissa massacre.
We take another step on towards our destiny but the memories still remain.
Sad, Garissa University College was the only Government Higher Education Institution in the Region, its fate now? On a sadder and infuriating note students, young promising guys' lives were cut short! That's illicit!
It is such a a sad occurrence. But we hope it will be the last one.
