One such photo is one that showed a Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) soldier assisting a frightened female student of the university decked out in a sleeping attire.
Social media across the globe shared the life-affirming photo widely.
It depicted the human side of the Kenya Defence forces soldiers who have long been associated with force.
Al-Shabaab staged the deadly attack with the intention of putting pressure on the Kenyan government to withdraw its forces from Somalia.
President Uhuru has long maintained that his administration is not keen on withdrawing the military from Somali soon until the war-torn country is pacified.
