Mau Mau Uprising - Kenya

www.throughmyeyes.org.uk. Opposition against British colonial rule in Kenya culminated in the Mau Mau uprising, which began in 1952. The political changes that took place after independence in 1963 had important consequences for Asians living there.

Film clips taken from Mau Mau, showing Kenya during the Mau Mau uprising, made circa 1954. The British commentary encapsulates colonial attitudes of the time.

This clip is taken from the Imperial War Museum's new online exhibition - 'Through My Eyes: Stories of conflict, belonging and identity.' The site can be accessed on www.throughmyeyes.org.uk. Read this and other stories in full (Film copyright of IWM Ref: MGH_4805, all rights reserved).

@Hamstercheck Asians as far as non Americans go is anyone from Asia. India is in Asia, and the Asians refferred to here are Indian, and those from the sub continent of India. Asians in America are all Mongolic strictly, (meaning resembling Mongolians) and because Americans are so God damn intelligent, India is put into the Middle East... Is that why you are asking???

damn, how stupid did the whites get to start even believing their own lies, fortunately most Africans except the ignorant amnesiacs don't believe in such blatant lies called white propaganda.

How is barack obama an asian arab? Wtf are you talking about?

"Nothing cool about knowing over 5000 Arabs died in 1964; in Zanzibar alone.

What happened in Tanganyika that same year is unknown. We only know what happened in Uganda a few years later. The black-man wanted his soil back and his country. Don't keep blaiming Colonial rule, when it was the Asians who were hated most. Barack Obama was an Asian Muslim (born in 1961)."

@Grifiki - Instead of bragging in pride why don't you share it, what you know, in truth. I want to be enlightened. That is all that it's about.

@ddsharper Barack Obama, I guess. I was stationed in Kenya when Obama was born. I know what happened to thousands of Asian Arabs in 1963/64. I know alot more than YOU!!!"
