Hundreds joined a protest in the Kenyan town of Garissa against the Islamist group al-Shabaab on Friday, a day after the militants from neighboring Somalia stormed a nearby college campus and killed at least 147 people.
The assault has rocked the nation and also raised questions about security measures after multiple warnings of a potential terror attack were raised in the days prior.
“It’s because of laxity by the government that these things are happening. For something like this to happen when there are those rumors is unacceptable,” Mohamed Salat, a Somali Kenyan businessman, told Reuters.
Early Thursday, assailants armed with guns and grenades attacked the Garissa University College Campus, targeting Christian students and killing nearly 150 people, mostly students, with the death toll expected to rise.
The al-Shabaab terror group claimed responsibility for the attack, its latest in a series of assaults that it says are in retribution for Kenya’s participation in the African Union-led fight against the group in Somalia.
On Friday, President Barack Obama said he spoke with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta and said he still plans to visit Kenya in July, a trip the White House announced earlier this week.

Every year, 2 million people worldwide apply for a job at Google – and head of people operations Laszlo Bock decides who gets in. So what’s the secret? Tom Lamont drops in on the company’s California HQ
Inside a lobby at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California, beside a rank of 1990s arcade machines, a laminated sign asks people to “Please Be Googley”. It is a request that visitors remember to wear security badges; also that they don’t steal any of the stuff that’s been left around for staff enjoyment – pedal bikes, sombreros, electric guitars. Employees at this £250bn company get stock options as a basic condition of employment. Wacky office furnishings, too. Upstairs in what Google calls its people operations department – human resources – there’s a climbing frame. A gym machine. Most sit at desks, today, frowning and purposeful, but one young staffer has taken a laptop to an indoor picnic table, next to the hammock.
In his office, Laszlo Bock, head of people operations, handles the claims from outsiders asking: “Please let me be Googley.” Each year, around 2 million apply for a job here and 5,000 are hired. Bock puts the average applicant’s odds at about 400/1. On a wall he keeps a small display of some of the worst (Bock prefers “silliest”) submissions that have come in. People try to grease him, impress him, plead with him, threaten him. He was offered, once, a discount on a motorhome in return for an offer. And somebody mailed in a shoe; with this foot-in-the-door joke the hope, presumably, that an acceptance letter would be sent by return post.
Am I cut out for Google? ‘You’ve got the funky glasses, but not super funky. So you’re not highly affected…’
‘Googler’ is the umbrella term for employees, broken down into ‘Noogler’ for new arrivals and ‘Graygler’ for older hands
Hairdressers visit the site and mechanics service cars. Is it a gilded cage? ‘Google isn’t some sweetly baited trap’
