{Kenya’s Garissa University College has officially reopened, nine months after the killing of nearly 150 people, mainly students, in an attack by militant Islamist group al-Shabab.
\nStaff have reported to work while students are expected to be back on campus next Monday.}<\/p>\n

A police post has been set up on the campus in north-eastern Kenya, to improve security.<\/p>\n

Last year’s attack was the deadliest so far by the Somali-based group in Kenya.
\nFollowing its closure, some 650 students from Garissa University College were offered places at a sister campus in Eldoret, western Kenya, to continue their studies.<\/p>\n

They are not expected to return to Garissa now that it has reopened, university authorities say.<\/p>\n

The French government has set up a fund for 109 students injured in the attack, putting 150,000 Kenyan shillings (\u00a31,000; $1,500) towards each student’s tuition fees and living allowance for the year.<\/p>\n

The $500 allocated for fees is expected to cover roughly a third of the annual cost of tuition.<\/p>\n

In May, local media reported that students at the Garissa Teachers Training College, which has a separate campus, but lies just 200m from the site of the attack, refused to return to class, citing security concerns.<\/p>\n

Al-Shabab says it is opposed to the presence of Kenyan troops in neighbouring Somalia.<\/p>\n
