Mau Mau pt 1

Much of the geographic and ethnic divisions currently seen in Kenya were established and encouraged during British colonialism. The Kenyan people have sued the British government for human rights abuses commited by their forces. Soldiers who had fought loyally for Britain during World War 2 came back to find white Britsh immigrants living on their fertile land while harassing local women.When Kenyan people fought for their independence, as they were'nt allowed to vote, the British invaders used:

Torture
Detention camps for up to 70,000 people
Castration and blinding
Fatal whipping
Rape by British soldiers
Rape with bottles of hot water
The British Army also used Northern Kenya for military exercises. As a result of leaving unexploded munitions behind, hundreds of Maasai and Samburu people have been killed or maimed by unexploded bombs left laying around over the past 50 years. The British fought the case. In 2002, a settlement was reached in which the UK government agreed to pay 7 million plus legal fees

@smithlovekenya So what are you trying to say? That you must be black to be African? Now that's what I call racist

[bwngare]

If you think that the Mau Mau are terrorists, you must have a very limited understanding of African History and politics.

[aguuled]

of course they had objectives to make it a "white man's country", duuuuuuuuh, what do you think happened to those naive natives in New Zealand, Australia, entire continents of North & South America...Hawaii....etc etc.....Attempt to re-colonize Africa will come again, like it or not. Having a sufficient nuclear deterrent is the only solution.

I've been to Kenya Nairobi and Mombassa and all I hear is white expat settlers whining about how Kenyans are this or Kenyans are that if they don't like Kenya. They should leave these assholes won't be missed.

@dannotrax I am not a racist. I am certainly an atheist. What do you know of Kenya? Do you speak any of the languages of that beautiful country? I would guess not, I suggest that you get out more and possibly read up on the place. Judging by your grammar and prose I am guessing that you are poorly educated.

"Terrorist Organization"??? Oh My God..........please, Mr. Narrator, or Mr. Reporter, do you even hear yourself speaking? I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOU SPEAK OF YOUR FELLOW EUROPEANS IN THE SAME MANNER!!!!!!!!!

[LionEntity]

How does a European man have the nerve to speak of the Mau Mau as "dreaded" and speaking of their "bloody deeds", in a land that Europeans themselves raped from its original inhabitants!

[Mzungu64]

You see, it used to be pronounced "Keenya!".
