(Transcript from World News Radio)
Hundreds of students in Kenya have taken to the streets of nation's capital, Nairobi, to protest in honour of their classmates who were killed in an Islamic militant attack last week.
Members of the al-Shabaab group stormed Garissa university in north-eastern Kenya, killing nearly 150 people injuring dozens of others.
As Sally Block reports, angry students say more could have been done to protect them.

"We shall never forget you"
Bringing Nairobi to a standstill, they held signs saying, you remain our hearts.
And they won't break our spirit, Rest in Peace comrades.
They also chanted "we are not safe".
Protestors banged on the sides of a police car shouting "Where were you?".
They argue their Garissa University classmates could have been saved if security forces acted earlier.
"We are here in solidarity because of our fallen comrades. And we want to send a message to the government that issues to do with security must be addressed to the letter. Because us as university students, we are not safe and we are not going to keep quiet."
They stopped outside President Uhuru's office calling for protection.
"We really want to put pressure on government to be serious on security issues because we are not feeling safe anymore. It hurts even more when you see the pictures of the comrades and the horror and pain that their parents are in the major morgues of Nairobi looking for their beloved ones."
"This country needs to take an initiative. This country needs to stand for us because this is so painful, it is so painful 147 students dying at the hand of a gun. Their future being destroyed by the al Shabaab. We cannot allow, we cannot stand back and watch - we must cry for our rights."
"We want peace and we are not begging for that peace we want."
Muslim leaders came out in condemnation of the attack.
Abdullahi Salat is Chairman of the Garissa Supreme Council of Kenyan Muslims.
"Today people came out clearly to condemn the barbaric act that was committed against innocent students, to show that the people of Garissa county are not part and parcel of these criminals who did this thing."
Five suspects have been arrested in connection with the attack and a sixth is being investigated.
