The death toll in al-Shabaab’s assault on a Christian University College is likely to climb above 147 and anger grows among local residents over the government’s failure to prevent bloodshed. A police source, who remains anonymous, said that when the alarm sounded at Garissa University College the authorities took hours to respond, arriving at the scene after politicians and journalists. He said the government's rapid response team was held up in Nairobi for hours arranging transport before it finally made its way to Garissa where gunmen separated Christian students from Muslim students and then killed the Christians. Some, such as Kenyan activist Boniface Mwangi, believe that entrenched corruption in the security system allows al-Shabaab to move freely in and out of Kenya, carrying out attacks with ease. The government has identified Mohamed Mohamud as the groups mastermind with an extensive terrorist network within Kenya. Al-Shabaab is based in Somalia and linked to Al-Qaeda, that was birthed in Yemen.

UNICEF reported 100,000 people have fled their homes - the majority of them women and children. Thousands are in dire need of aid. The Red Cross was able to land one passenger plane carrying staff but have not yet been able to find a cargo plane operator to fly supplies into the country. A conservative estimate was of 74 children killed was 74 and 44 maimed since the Saudi-led coalition started bombing Houthi positions. UNICEF said children were paying an ‘intolerable’ price and they needed protection. The number of civilian casualties is increasing and the humanitarian situation is deteriorating due to the siege and air-strikes hitting food storages. When one thinks of Yemen (situated between Saudi Arabia and Somalia two of the most radical Muslim nations) one seldom thinks of Christians, primarily because they are practically non-existent in such an inhospitable environment. Yemen's entire non-Muslim population is less than one percent.

Haines has been a pastor for 12 years he  established the Supernatural Lifestyle School in Pietermaritzburg in 2010 providing Christians with two weeks of equipping in praying for the sick, prophecy and supernatural evangelism, while also giving space for people to encounter God through soaking and impartation.
