Garissa residents took to the streets shouting anti- Shabab slogans as local leaders want refugees returned to Somalia.

Garissa resident took to the streets to vent out their anger over the senseless killing 148 students at Garissa University, an attack that was claimed by Somali militant group Al Shabab.
Over 2500 people poured to the streets to register their discontentment as well as show solidarity with the bereaved families of Garissa victims who were mostly non-Somalis. The demonstrators were made up of Christians and Muslims who chanted anti-Al shabab slogans.

Meanwhile leaders from Northeaster Kenya Monday asked the government to relocate the refugees in the camps to their home countries, saying the camps were conduit and training ground for radical elements.
Led by Garissa Governor Nadhif Jama, Wajir’s Ahmed Abdullahi and Mandera Governor Ali Roba, the leaders vowed to root out extremism in the area and help government in the identification of Al Shabab Members. They also set up an account to support the Garissa Victims, an amount that was pegged at 15 million Kenyan shilling.
The declaration by the leaders, however, contravened the agreement reached last year by United Nations High Commission on Refugees (UNHCR), Kenya government and its Somali counterpart where the parties agreed to relocate refugees who would voluntarily return back to their home country.
Al shabab Thursday attacked Garissa University where it massacred 148 Kenyans. The Kenyan government, in retaliation, claimed it targeted Shabab bases in Gedo Somalia.
