Kenyans march demanding greater national security

Kenyans marched demanding greater national security on Tuesday following last week’s massacre by Somalia’s Shabaab Islamists, ahead of a candlelit vigil on the final day of mourning for the 148 people killed by the militants.
Tuesday’s demonstration, with at least 200 students marching through central Nairobi waving placards, comes as security forces continue their hunt for those behind the university killings.
Students slapped vehicles with their hands as they marched through the streets, chanting “you are not safe, you are not safe!”
Maureen Mucheri, 21, an engineering student at Nairobi University, said she feared another attack, refusing to go into shopping malls and churches, because “the government is doing nothing”.
Some students carried flowers, others stopped to light candles.
“We are mourning the loss of our fellow comrades, we have lost the vibrant blood that would have built tomorrow’s Kenya,” Mucheri added.
A larger vigil is planned for early evening on the third and final day of national mourning.
