Two Chinese NGOs, Kenya China Economic and Trade Association, and Kenya Overseas Chinese Association, issued a statement on Friday, condemning the terrorist attack at Garissa University College.

"We are extremely shocked to hear that a terrorist attack occurred at Garissa University College on 2 April, during which the terrorists brutally and ruthlessly shot at innocent students in a country whose people always love peace," the statement said, adding that such savage act must be strongly condemned.

"We express our heartfelt sorrow and deep condolences to the victims and bereaved families, and wish the injured recover soon. We firmly believe that the Kenyan government and people have every capacity to cope with the situation," it continued.

The NGOs said they want to "reassure all Kenyan brothers and sisters that all Chinese companies and nationals in Kenya are standing shoulder by shoulder with them through this most difficult time", adding that they are willing and ready to offer help.

"We firmly support the Kenyan government and people to fight terrorism and safeguard national security," the statement said. Endi
