Yesterday marked the 10th anniversary of the attack on Garissa University.
On April 2, 2015, Al Shabaab militants unleashed terror on young Kenyans pursuing knowledge to build better lives for themselves, leading to the deaths of 148 people, and another 79 others injured.
As a parent, I cannot fathom the enduring pain caused by this tragedy on the victims families. No person would want to be caught up in the situation that the Garissa University students found themselves in.
We can avoid that through a unified whole of society approach where all prevention and counter violent extremism actors work together in harmony with local communities.
