Mau Mau in Kenya

[suirvale]

we were told as kids in ireland how great the mau mau were to fight the british,.i guess it means that nothing can be gained by talking its got to be blood spillign to gain freedom..

[12Aggiefan]

You know what's funny very few people in the UK even know about the Mau Mau let alone the rest of the world. It was a brutal rebellion and superssion of a rebellion. Both sides commmited terrible crimes. But it did force Britian to give up its Colony in Kenya (1963) earlier then they wanted and forced the Whites out of there highland land/homes. So in that sense it was a succesfull campagain.

[arronnov]

@12Aggiefan What do you mean both sides did terrible things. You mean the British did terrible things not my sisters and bothers in Kenya. They where in a on going war they didn't start. Western civilization started the war Against Africa and African people the world over. In war you do what ever is necessary to kill and get your enemy out of your lands and consciouness so you can secure your own survival and interest.

[12Aggiefan]

@arronnov Both sides did terrible things don't try to brush that aside. The British tortured and interned and starved Mau Mau and their families. The Mau Mau murdered British women and childern hence both sides committed terrible crimes. Personally I see no problem with fighting foregin colonial occupiers and I said the Rebellion was succefull the Brits left earlier and gave up their land. Calm down us Brits and Kenyans no live in peace in the commonwealth. I take Holiday in Kenya all is well.

[arronnov]

@12Aggiefan When you declare war on somebody don't cry about how they attempt to fight back especially when they didn't start the war. Africans didn't invite Europeans to Africa. Those British women and children wouldn't have been killed if Europeans hadn't come in the first place. The amount of deaths of Africans over the past 600yrs because slavery imperialism colonialism coups regime changes and etc totals in the hundreds of millions

[arronnov]

@12Aggiefan Cause and effect have always been in play and there's no time limit on it. I don't have to brush aside anything. Africans are naturally justified to do what every it takes to get rid of invaders killers murders and thieves. The people of Libya are justified to drop bombs on any western country who are participating in bombing them today.

[arronnov]

@12Aggiefan Ask the Irish how they been feeling about the Brits the past 1200yrs?

[12Aggiefan]

@arronnov I don't care about the Irish or how they feel that is totally Irrevlant. And the Irish don't hate the Brits the hate the English big difference. That is a whole nother topic in an of itself. The English brought civlization, agricultural cultivation and order onto the Island of Ireland, St. Patrick himself was an Englishman! they owe us much more than there bitching and whining.

[arronnov]

@12Aggiefan The funny thing about western civilization. Its has made the justification of their action the past 600yrs. We've brought civilization, agricultural,cultivation and order. This are the common words of justification. You don't civilize anybody by beating them across the head invading them killing them murdering them and etc. Self determination with their own historical consciousness is the right of all people.

[arronnov]

@12Aggiefan No worry though! Cause and effect is always in play. Western civilization is not immune to this no matter how much infinite knowledge it believe it has to use to change things. Japan is getting its karma now and all countries who have caused genocide and mass death to humanity will not be immune.

[12Aggiefan]

@arronnov Karma so a natural diaster that kills tens of thoushands is alright because of what happen 70 years ago? you need to pull out of your ass you dirty fucking Yank.

[arronnov]

@12Aggiefan Building nuclear power plants on a fault line and the coast wasn't the brightest ideal. You don't escape the energy you put out because of time limit. It comes back when it decide too!

[AntonioKizomba]

I really would like to receive your essay. In late 50's and during 60's, as a young I used to read everything about the struggle for freedom in Africa. Unfortunatelly, the same colonial rulers are still exploiting the continent, without any civil responsability. African countris have only national anthem, national independence holiday and national flag, since everything else remains belonging to the same previous owners. Poor Africa !!!

[sepiasilence]

@AntonioKizomba not the same colonial rulers at all, the chinese are having their turn. The problem with africa is too much aid, rulers just put it in their back pocket and it caries on as always.

[FunkMystiks]

As if the British has done no wrong in the event of treading on another man's home in attempts to coerce the native residence out of their land. What would you do if somedody forced their way on your property or in your home and demanded everything. They asked for trouble.

[sepiasilence]

@FunkMystiks It happend pleanty of times to the British aswel before they got fed up and did it themselves, it was the way the world worked, most countries did or tried to do the same, this whole blame it on the british thing really does get boring

[quezzie13]

Why does the white man feel its his right to go where he pleases and take what he wants? I'm Glad Africa has just about liberated itself from white rule, and I guarantee South Africa is going to run the whites out sooner or later.

[LimuruBoy]

long live kenya

[HeadToucher]

The White is a fucking sub-human demon. He steals people's land and make freedom fighters into terrorist just like he did the Indians. Long live the Maus Maus and Geronimo Pratt!

[flumpde]

@HeadToucher It's people like you that cause these problems. To blindly hate someone for their appearance is ignorant and unneeded. People have always stolen other people's land and lied about their enemies regardless of their colour. Most European nations now see colonialism as wrong and i doubt they will ever repeat it. The irony of the Kenyan Emergency is that Churchill built concentration camps for the Kenyans after condemning the ones in Germany. Long live the Mau Mau.

[HeadToucher]

@flumpde , ppl like me cause problems? No White people cause problems. Its good the Euros dissagree with colonization so all White ppl are going back to Europe

[321lawc]

@HeadToucher Ha. That's not a sweeping racist statement or anything. And let me guess, all black people are peaceful too huh.

[HeadToucher]

@321lawc , compared to White people we are saints. Do you need a history lesson?

[santoshiful]

I suppose IT "thinks" that BECUASE it's was being FK up by a Kenyan National that makes it an expert. These MTH FKers are ALWAYS PROBLEMS EVERYWHERE they go.

[louisanorth]

If you would like to read my 3000 word essay on the mau mau rebellion i w ould be happy to send it to you. I spent a lot of time in Kenya, had a Kenyan boyfriend and spent a long time with Kikuyu's who had lived through Uhuru.... I was merely pointing out that the British only showed their side of the story not that of the Kenyans.

[smokererER]

i am very interested in your essay and your sources.I would appreciate if you could suggest any book on the mau mau uprising.

[jimyveture]

@louisanorth  Hey,,am interested....how can i get a copy...

[exeuroweenie]

@louisanorth I'd like to read it,if you don't mind.

[sepiasilence]

@louisanorth yes i would like to read it...

[arttty12345]

@louisanorth Could I read this essay please?

[siniecat]

@louisanorth ..hey im really interested in reading ur article....:)

I'm currently doing a discussion for an Arts History class where im supposed to find an image that documents and fabricates history....in my research...i stumbled over this....

I am from Kenya...proud to be Kenyan ...and thankful to all Uprisings....like the Mau Mau...which helped us gain our independence....

[louisanorth]

This is clear propagand from the British government. We have a clear hindsight now to see what really took place during the Mau Mau rebellion.

[YrHen]

Unless YOU were actually there during the Mau Mau rebellion, which I doubt, louisanorth, the only hindsight you have on what took place, comes from what you have chosen to read which suits you! Could you perhaps list the African countries you have lived and worked in.

[TheTollundWoman]

You're right I wasn't there. I do have sources though.

i'll send you quotes if you like.

[YrHen]

I'm sure,Tollund we can all produce sources and quotes,depending on our experience and contacts from the actual events. Perhaps if you spoke to some of the decendents of the villages of Lari, where the Mau Mau burnt the huts containing women and children, who they sealed inside,and even mutilated their cattle because they were deemed to be on the "wrong" side! you would get a different perspective.

In the "elections" some things never changed if you were not a Kikuyu! and in the wrong place!

[TheTollundWoman]

What happened in the last election. And what role did the "colonials" play in protecting anyone?

[TheTollundWoman]

For the British government to call the Mau Mau 'terrorists' was hypocrisy at its very worst. Terrorism was being committed every day in Kenya by the British colonists who forced thousands of people from their land, and by the British soldiers who shot and tortured unarmed civilians who were not even involved in the uprising. The Mau-Mau were brutal, yes. But their actions did not occur in a void. The real "menace" was colonialism and the crimes it involved.

[tico8007]

this seems surreal

[tonyfingures]

I do concur with some of the comments i've read here. One main reason Kenya is so conflicted is cause of the Colonialists & slave traders. From the Portuguese, the Germans, the British.... i don't think i have ever heard a "Thank you" or a "Sorry" for all the oppression, forced labor, mass slaughter and the slaverey. After all, We practically built those countries to what they are today.

[UhuruBC]

What is with the Verbal Diarohea Maureen Oww ?????Four letter words, dysfunctional outbursts, do not make you a Poet, They only magnify how shallow you are.

Do not reply to me, Take out your Anger + Depression some where else.

[redsan305]

cracker up givers when it comes for war

[maureenOWW]

Please, at least TRY and speak english.

[redsan305]

you always come to our motherland africa for holyday because our motherland is beautifull .because your countries are nothing but the countries of eating snow and drinking white pig spam

[redsan305]

africa our motherlnd love that.one cracker should listen to one musician from africa.her name is yvonne chaka chaka.listen the song mamaland.

[redsan305]

all the best and great musician are blacks.all the best runners in the world are black and black is powerfull OBAMA .stupid crackers you succided every where but not africa.

[redsan305]

you were the ones who started sports and yet you cant catch up with us africans in running sport we always kicked just you like the way we did to you in colonial war.

[redsan305]

stupid crackers stupid white pigs.this is exacly how we kiked you from our country.obama is now your leader in USA because your fellow cracker cant do that.

[Magyaroxi]

Though I am not in favour of colonialism, I think Kenya gained allot from the time that the British ruled. Kenya has been back in the hands of Kenyans for nearly half a century and in that time the country has slid into poverty and is seen as backward. Not to mention of course the civil violence that erupted last year between its own people.

[sundiatashafiq]

Perhaps if we use the logic you have provided us then we can see that this colonialism is the very reason that Kenya slipped into the poverty in which you speak. If we study Kenya and many other African nation before colonialism, then we see a distinct difference. Study the life of Mekatilili wa Menza and see the ramifications that colonialism had on the Kenyans. Peace

[ATrueSriLankan]

And these are the people who preach human rights.

[maureenOWW]

Compared to the Mau Mau, the british were angels.

The british didn't cook and eat children to gain 'magic powers', for example.

[ATrueSriLankan]

Could you please site a source.

[maureenOWW]

A source for what, in particular?

[ATrueSriLankan]

I did a small survey to find whether Mau Mau did eat their children to gain magic power, but could not find any so far. Could you cite a article or news piece.

[maureenOWW]

Who did you survey, you nextdoor neighbour?

Why not google Mau Mau Ritual, it's famous. From the book 'Ritual Human Sacrifice;:

'Members of the KCA were obliged to take an oath to fight and defend themselves against all white colonists and Western European intruders. The oath included animal sacrifice and the ingestion of blood. The ritual also included cannibalism, ritual zoophilia with goats and other animals, and sexual orgies.'

[ATrueSriLankan]

Bit of back peddling he he. Where does it say they ate their children to gain "magic" power. Btw i searched your book on IUCAT which i have access to. Its not there, so either you gave a false name, or it does not exist, or it is only circulated amoung racists like you.

If you dont have citations for mau mau eating their children, DO NOT waste my time.

Btw, u know u are screwed when u have to compare your government against the acts of cannibals. TELLS A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THEIR WORK. he he

[maureenOWW]

My apologies, the book was released under the title 'Cannibalism and Human Sacrifice' - it is cited in over 40 other books....have you ever read anything about the Mau Mau?

Oh, and I never said anything about them eating THEIR children, I meant their ENEMIES children, clearly.

Oh, and I'm also not british, so another epic failure on your part.

And racist bigot? I'm a member of the anti-nazi league, you cuntflap.

Perhaps you should stop reading things based on left-wing propaganda. Ape.

[maureenOWW]

Cannibalism was part of the intimidation tactics they used against the black population. Children were thought to have the most magic in them, and when consumed (after torture, as the more the sacrifice screamed the more powerful the magic would be) the Mau Mau believe they were immune to bullets and invisible to white people.

Perhaps you sohuld READ abook on the mau mau before making stupid statements about them, hmm?

They were brutal religious cultists who mudered for pleasure over 50,000.

[maureenOWW]

In the Journal of African History, Kenyan historian Bethwell Ogot, wrote: The Mau Mau, contrary to African customs and values, assaulted old people, women and children. The horrors they practiced included the decapitation and mutilation of civilians, torture before murder, bodies bound up in sacks and dropped in wells, burning victims alive, gouging of eyes, and splitting the stomachs of pregnant women. No war can justify such gruesome actions.'

Do you accept this as true? Yes or no?

[ATrueSriLankan]

First off, dont reply to me, cos when people start calling others "Ape" we know they are racist. I hate racists bigots and idiots, in that order and i am sorry if that offends you.

Second above was a critic to a book written by a Harvard professor who was sympathetic to Mau Mau, So you see, picking and choosing text from here and there is not really smart. Cos truth is in between cos they both can't be true.

[ATrueSriLankan]

Three i don't care what Mau Mau did, cos they are not the ones claim to be all civilized, and nor were they the invader. So If you want to compare your British with cannibals i welcome that.

Four, You got to show me the text that shows they ate the children for magic power, if you can't this conversation is over.

[maureenOWW]

'Three i don't care what Mau Mau did'

Well, there we go, you admitted it at last. Because they are black they can do no wrong, right? One of the most hideous, sinister, repressive regimes in the history of africa, and you say 'I don't care'. Nice.

I don't think we have anything more to talk about, do we, hmm?

Enjoy the evil white mans internet.

[ATrueSriLankan]

I am sorry, but you are a racist.

Do NOT reply to me.

[maureenOWW]

LOL! I'M a racist? A member of the anti-nazi league, who's campaigned for over 10 years against all forms of racist in the UK and europe, and I'M the racist?

A brief glance at your videos shows who the actual racist is, as does your name.

I think you must be mentally ill, or perhaps you dson't know what the word 'racist' means.

Wither way, you're a massive, MASSIVE cuntflap.

[sundiatashafiq]

Campaigning against racism, and being in anti-racist leagues does not eliminate you from making or taking racist presumptions. Just because you are able to articulate your disdain from racism, does not disclude you from privileging from a racist past; despite the fact that I am sure that you believe your separation from this makes you "less racist". Also, concepts of the Mau Mau doing all these things are nothing but Myth...

[TweedleDumm1]

what you wearry wearry need to do is put all of the nigga's jap's north koreans,

chinks and so on and so forth put them on desolate islands and let them cut each others throats.

[sundiatashafiq]

There is much literature that shares the opposite like A.S. Cleary, like Micere Mugo, like Wunyabari O. Maloba. And is this the same bethwell ogot who speaks of the Mau Mau as Freedom fighters in his book Mau Mau & Nationhood. And critiques them out of the context in which they came? Don't take information from a right wing site which seeks to show obama is a "muslim"(as if that automatically makes him less than human) and give it to us as fact.

[maureenOWW]

'So you see, picking and choosing text from here and there is not really smart.'

Hmm...how about you try ANY ENCYCLOPEDIA; or do you think all encyclopedias, all mainstream media, is biased against the Mau Mau, and is inventing fictional accounts of their brutality?

[sundiatashafiq]

And what I mean about this being a myth is that it was something created by the British (Afrikan cannibals in their barbaric religions.. something they always stated in order to justify complete slaughter) in order to justify their colonial policies in Kenya. This isnt just a British tactic, it was used for centuries by European enslavers and colonialists to justify their position. They said the same thing about Denmark Vessey and Nat Turner. And speaking of Literature, THERE is much lit...

[TheTollundWoman]

The British colonists did in fact kill children, as well as unarmed men and women, out of racist hatred; they also forced thousands of Kenyans off their land and from their homes, and they still shot dead innocent civilians who played no part in the uprising. Colonialism was an oppressive and inhumane system, and it relied on violence to maintain itself. It was inevitable that eventually it would be met with violence.e

[YrHen]

I doubt, TheTollundWoman, you have the slightest idea what happened in Kenya, anymore than you have facts to back up your statements. Your experience of the ACTUAL Mau Mau rebellion is based, one presumes, on being there at the time? Is It? Suggest you get out more ,Laddie!

During the latest Kenyan elections, it was the beastly Colonials who moved local Kenyans out of danger, as they had been threatened with death by the lovely Kikuyu!

Did you do anything to help?

[canyonerodriver]

@YrHen 100, 000 kenyans died in british concentration camps. the mau mau killed an estimated 32 settlers

[UhuruBC]

A white English man called Willie Lynch, (google that), invented The divide and Conquer mentality, they used these tactics in all the lands they invaded, by outlining the differences.

Using Territory, Fear, Distrust and envy to control the Old against Young, Dark skinned against Light skinned, Female against male, Tribe against tribe.

These is the seed of Indoctrination that was planted and we are held hostage by that, it is a cancer we need to chop off.

UNITED WE STAND STRONG.

[maureenOWW]

'Willie Lynch' is a myth, I mean how stupid are you? The whole thing is a hoak, why not google WILLIE LYNCH HOAX, hmm?

Ignorant fuckwit.

[sundiatashafiq]

whether or not the Willie Lynch document is real or not real, no one can deny the historical truths that the document brings out. Therefore, it is quite apparent that these tactics were used, which led to a decimation of a people

[UhuruBC]

Unfortunately some of the colonialist are having problems articulating themselves, They are speaking in their native tongue, and cannot convey their point across, I sense a "superiority complex".

Irony is, they claim to be the "teachers" yet cannot write, I say VICTORY to the MAUMAU.

Origins of MAUMAU, can be traced back to 1920, the leaders protested and all was ignored.

If my Human rights are not respected, I will use any means necessary to achieve my FREEDOM.

MAUMAU we Salute you.

[maureenOWW]

Your salute the MAU MAU? People who murdered hundreds of thousands of their black 'brothers' for racial and economic reason? Who chopped up 26,000 children with machetes, who forced parents to rape AND EAT their kids as punishment?

The Mau Mau for not fighting and killing the british (only 23 whites were killed) the uprising was a racial war, similar to what happened in Rwanda. One tribe of black people with machetes killing another tribe of black people in order to gain power.

Read a book.

[UhuruBC]

The MAUMAU were and still are freedom fighters, demanding self determination, and rejecting colonial rule.

The British like the rest of the Europeans were stealing Africans wealth and enslaving the populations.

They owe the MAUMAU survivors compensation for the Genocide, torture,and violation of Human rights.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

mau maus were blood thirsty savages ,who killed plenty of their own people brutally,, if you want independence , you campaign and protest , not going round chopping peoples heads off and drinking blood,, doesnt work like that , kenya like all colonies were going to get independence , do you think were were going to run and hand over government to a load of savage animals ,what sort of kenya would that of been,

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

enslaving a nation, what were youy before ,a backward ill educated nation, of hunters ,farmers and tribal heathens, kenya from its ports were trading in slaves with the arabs ,a long time before we came, without us , youdstill be running round with spears , we gave you education, roads ,railways, schools , a parliamentry system, electricity ,cars , modern hospitals and medicines ,cures for malaria , your coutry got many benefits from u being their , wow youve even got computers lol

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

as for compensation ,nice try , why did you stay in the commowealth , for hand outs i bet , just like all the other african nations, you want to count yourselves lucky that you didnt end up with someone like mugabe or idi amin, britain gives plenty of aid through official and through charity , youve got your independence , do something with it , insted of whinging and thinking the world owe you a living

[africanlion16]

chigudo sounds african meaning ur dad raped an african woman

[africanlion16]

haha the whites hate blacks because they are now tasting a dose of their own medicine they thought they were clever enough to kidnap africans, they are now jealuos about every blackman success ,the tables do turn and the whites see it but we wont treat u the way u treated us.

[TheMightOfTheEnglish]

african lion ,jealous of what lol ,what has a blackman ever discovered or invented , you treat yourselves far worse then we ever did ,in africa as a whole , rwanda ,somalia, idi amin in uganda, mugabe in zimbabwe ,civil wars in sudan,ethiopia,congo, and many other african countries, corrupt to the core ,potentially rich nations, corrupt governments hoarding cash in swissbnk accounts, while their subjects starve, 50 years of independence and no futher forward ,most backward ,jealous no way

[kenyandamu]

Yep, at times am really surprised at how these UK folks can be so racist yet they are the ones who ran amok trying to conquer the whole world.

Africans are generally humble people. The only reason why some of these African Countries fight is because other Countries are always bribing Government officials so that they get the tenders for mining, oil exploration etc.

Thank God that we don't have any minerals in Kenya at all ...

[jonkoot]

sawticle in London Daily News last week about Barack Obama's grand dad was part of mau mau.

[kenyandamu]

Nope, his grand dad worked for the Britons as a cook and the Mau Mau were from the KIKUYU tribe only. Obama is from the LUO tribe. KIKUYU land was very fertile and has this cool climate that was conducive for farming and the settlers loved that.

Otherwise, KENYANS are doing just fine without the settlers ...

At least the Mau Mau were quicker and more successful at doing what they did to the settlers than the Native Indians in the Americas ...OBAMA 08!

[LeedsUnited1984]

my grandfather told me first hand how he slay the monkeys and brought that coward Kimathi to justice.

[kenyandamu]

How funny that is ... Africa is the only continent that you pigs couldn't take over. Thanks GOD for the African Mosquito that transmitted Malaria which we were immune to and killed millions of Britons.

Those tribes used to rape British women and babies then kill them and feed them to the wild animals. Go ask your Grand dad how many of his friends made it safely. They got a first hand taste of African hospitality at its best.

Come get your British bones that are all over KENYA!

[zanmato666]

the majority of Africa Was colonised by Europeans including Kenya, with only Ethiopia and Liberia remaining independent during the "scramble for Africa" .

its not just the African mosquito that transmits malaria and has killed and still does kill many people worldwide predominantly young children.

my granddad and his friends made it safely through the mau mau uprising. (although he did get hit on the head by his cook)

[kenyandamu]

Realistically the Europeans colonized the cool highland zones of Africa because they couldn't survive the hotter zones like where my tribe comes from. The tribes that lived in the cool areas were the ones forced away from their lands into reservations. The "Kikuyu tribe", "Maasai Tribe" and "Nandi Tribe" in Kenya are the ones who had to fight the Britons to death because they lived in the cool and fertile lands in Kenya. My Granddad never came into contact with any British settler at all ...

[wewongj5]

Every African nation that has overthrown Colonial rule, whether politically or violently, has suffered. They have no ability to govern themselves and revert back to the tribal rule that they have clung to for centuries. Their economy goes straight down the pisser as do their civil rights and general standard of living. Look what Mugabe is currently doing. And Americans are contemplating electing a bloody wog! Shameful.

fuck you yo better eat shit. kenya is only 40 years old. you cant compare it with Britain which has been there forever or USA which is 400 years old, almost 10 times older than Kenya. and within 40 years Kenya has been able to achieve what it has achieved. (imagine it in the next 300 years or so... )even to give birth to an American president. if you are not that smart enough to figure that out, STFU or eat shit yo biatch!!!!!
