Al-shabaab Bus AttackWhen he left his home in Nakuru County, Kenya for Mandera near the Somali border on December 19, Meshack Otieno had no idea that his journey would mark the start of untold agony and heartbreak for his family.

Otieno, 43, was an experienced welder and had been called to Mandera for a job, right into the heart of a region rife with Kenya’s most notorious persecutor of the Church: al-Shabaab. The Somalia-based Islamist terror group has gained a reputation for brutal attacks in which they are notorious for targeting Christians.
