Kenya has joined the rest of the world in mourning dozens of victims of Al-Shabaab, which reportedly waged Saturday's attack in Mogadishu.
Although the group is yet to take responsibility, Somalia President Mohamed Farmajo on Saturday blamed it for the attack that left 90 dead.
Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Monica Juma sent Nairobi's condolences, terming the attack as barbaric.
"I convey to my brother Hon. Ahmed Isse Awad,& through him the people of Somalia, my deepest condolences for today's barbaric attack on Mogadishu. We condemn in the strongest possible terms this heinous act of terror that has caused many deaths and left a trail of destruction," she wrote.
"We pray for quick recovery for those injured in the attack, pray that the Lord will rest the souls of the departed in peace and strongly urge all peace-loving people of the world to stand with Somalia at this time of deep grief," she added.
Ms Juma said that Kenya will continue to work with Somalia with an aim of combating terror which has seen the two countries suffer massive setbacks.
"Kenya remains steadfast in its solidarity with Somalia in the fight against terrorism in all its forms," she added.
Speaking to reporters at the blast site, Mogadishu Mayor Omar Muhamoud said students were killed as they commuted to their studies, many of them to the capital’s Banadir University.
Somali Foreign Minister Ahmed Awad tweeted that many of the dead were “students with ambition, and hardworking men and women.”
