Kenyan students in Uganda on Saturday converged at the College of Engineering at Makerere Univsersity for the remembrance of the people who fought tirelessly to liberate their country.

“Mashujaa” day, also known as Heroes Day ("Mashujaa" is Swahili for heroes") is a national day in Kenya, which is observed every 20th day of October as a public holiday. The day is meant to collectively honour all those who contributed towards the struggle for Kenya’s independence or positively contributed in the post-independence Kenya.
