We Are One: This Is What Belgian Students For The Fallen Victims Of The Garissa Attack (Photos)
The cold blooded murder of about 147 human beings at Garissa University College will go down as one of the most aggressive, extreme terrorist attacks in Kenyan history.
It has come as a blow to us and it seems we are not the only ones who have felt the loss.Thousands of Belgium students held a tribute yesterday at the ULB Solbosch campus where they lit 147 candles of remembrance,brought flowers and had a moment of silence for the stolen lives.
This was after a call by the Union of Jewish Students of Belgium (UEJB) on their site in a bid to rally a quorum for the vigil “148 lives cut. Kenyan students and first and foremost the hope of tomorrow were murdered in their university Garissa by Shabaab Islamists.
Mown down by intolerance, fanaticism, the madness. We cannot and do not want to leave it in indifference.
The Union of Jewish Students of Belgium (UEJB) calls all students and all student groups to gather this Wednesday, April 8 at 18:30 at the ULB Solbosch campus symbolic place in the Square Group G. We will respect a minute of silence, associations that want it will speak and we will light 147 candles of remembrance.”
Their call was heeded and people came out in droves, 15,000 people to be specific.
Bless their hearts.
