Kenya’s Garissa University College has reopened – some nine months after the killing of nearly 150 people by militant Islamist group al-Shabab forced its closure.
A police post has been established on the campus, in north-eastern Kenya, to guarantee the safety of students and staff.
Staff reported to work today while students are due to return to classes next Monday.
In April last year armed Al Shabaab attacked Garissa University College in Kenya’s north eastern province and also kidnapped 700 students in the second deadliest attack since the 1998 bombings of the US Embassy in Nairobi.
