The Anglican Archbishop of Kenya, Eliud Wabukhala, has called on the international community to stand with Kenya as it mourns the brutal killing of at least 147 students at the Garissa University College by the Al-Shabaab militia on Thursday.

Archbishop Wabukhala said global leaders must come together and seek a lasting solution to terrorism which continues to affect innocent citizens not only in Kenya, but across the globe.

“I call upon the international community because the challenge of terrorism has now assumed global dimension.

"This thing is happening in Syria, Nigeria, and in many cities of the world. So we must come together and see this issue as not a Kenyan issue, or African issue but a global problem,” Archbishop Wabukhala said during the Easter church service at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi.

So far several countries have condemned the Garissa attack, pledging to support Kenya in this challenging moment.

The United States condemned the attack in “strongest terms”, adding that it will continue to provide assistant to Kenya.
