A Muslim man has died in hospital a month after he was shot while protecting Christians during a Kenyan terror attack.

Salah Sadbow Farah, a primary school teacher, was on a bus in Kenya when the vehicle was attacked by al-Qaeda affiliate Al Shabaab.

During the attack, members of the militant group attempted to separate Christian bus passengers from Muslim passengers – Al Shabaab has typically spared Muslims who cooperate during attacks in the area.

Mr Farah previously told Kenya’s Daily Nation that several men from the bus confronted the gunmen on the roadside while Muslim women shared their hijabs with non-Muslim passengers, defying the gunmen’s attempts to separate the group.

“We asked them to kill all of us or leave us alone. As we argued, they shot me and the boy,” he said.

Mr Farah had been undergoing surgery in a Nairobi hospital to treat the bullet wound he sustained during the attack.
