Concentration Camps, Trials & Executions In Nairobi | Britain's Shameful Colonial Past in Kenya AKA "The Emergency" (part 3) Let's talk about the end of the KLFA rebellion, British withdrawal from Kenya, the rise of Jomo Kenyatta, General China, the fate of the Gikuyu and the trials and executions carried out by the British. This is part 3 of a 3 part history podcast series on how Kenya gained independence from England... I'm going to take us through the brutal end of the KLFA rebellion and the end to the British occupation of Kenya. We're talking about controversial stuff today including British re-education camps, the fate of the Gikuyu people and political organizing in Kenya until official independence from Britain. In this episode, I'll detail more about the concentration camps, re-education, the colonial government's destruction of the Kenyan state and the outcome of the KLFA rebellion. We get a relatively happy ending with Kenyan independence but the journey there has many twists and turns... This will be my first black history month doing this podcast... This is a 3 part series documenting the Kenyan emergency. My next episode will be on a relatively recent event influential in African American history. I mention it at the end of this episode.
