肯尼亚民众在基督教复活节期间悼念索马里青年党激进分子星期四在加里萨大学学院杀死的148名遇难者,星期天在全国各地举行了悼念活动。

与此同时,肯尼亚保安部队负责人为袭击事件中特种部队的表现辩护。

法新社报道,事件发生后至少7个小时后,特种部队才从首都内罗毕乘飞机抵达屠杀现场,而其他保安部队已经与激进分子交火了数小时。

还有消息说,一些驾车365公里赶到现场的记者也比特种部队先到。几家肯尼亚报纸星期天对政府的反应提出强烈批评。

肯尼亚总统肯雅塔在索马里青年党主要针对基督徒的血腥袭击后星期六呼吁全国团结。

Kenyans dedicated Easter services to the 148 victims of Thursday's massacre by al-Shabab militants at a university.

Ceremonies were held across Kenya Sunday in memory of those killed at Garissa University College.

Meanwhile, Kenya's security chief defended the response by special forces to the attacks.

The French News Agency reports that it took at least seven hours for special forces to arrive at the scene of the massacre after flying from the capital, Nairobi, hours after other security personnel fought with the militants. Some journalists who drove the same 365-kilometer distance are reported to have arrived before the special forces. Several

Kenyan newspapers on Sunday were strongly critical of the government's response.

On Saturday, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta called for unity after the massacre by al-Shabab, which targeted mostly Christians.
