Exceptional resources were allocated by the Kenyan authorities to help identify victims of the carnage of Garissa. However, this work looks very difficult. Especially delicate that some bodies were identified by two different families.
"I came here yesterday in the hope of finding the body of my daughter, I also identified testifies Mutua Mutisya Isaac, the father of one of the victims. But someone else also identified so I am back today to see if it is the body of my daughter or not. "
The survivors, like Gitonga Ng'ang'a, 22, who was able to find his family in Nairobi on Saturday, tell how they escaped the massacre. This student survived by hiding his bed dorm.
He recalls: "The students were screaming and there was weeping. The assailants, at first, did not speak until they enter homes where we slept. So they began to speak loudly and say "We're here to kill and be killed." "
His memory is still full of these scenes of horror. "I had to step over pools of blood and dead bodies of several close friends, very good friends, he said. It's tough. It's even harder when I talk. "
In Garissa, journalists were allowed for the first time to enter the campus.
The buildings are riddled with bullets, dried blood extends long trails and books scattered litter the ground. The university was closed indefinitely.
