For more than 20 years, 46-year-old Shukri Farah has worked as a driver of buses plying the Mandera-Nairobi route. He, however, says Monday’s events will forever remain etched in his mind. He was transporting more than 60 passengers from Nairobi on a journey that started at 11.00 am.
They were in a bus labelled Makkah, and he recalls how the passengers were engaged in animated conversation, as is typical of long-distance drivers.
