Photos of Kenya massacre

Why were they killed? What was their offence? Is it because they are students? Is it because they are Christians? Is it because they are vulnerable without guns to fight back? Is this what religion taught us to do? How long is this going to stop? Have you succeeded in bringing tears to their eyes? Have you considered if your family member is part of the deceased? Is this really necessary?

These and many more questions would be in our thoughts as Kenya and the world mourns the death of 150 students at Garissa University college
