My 84 year old grandma from gatundu once told me that if she heard rumors that maumau war is back she would emediately commit suicide. She can't withstand the brutality they went through. Her husband, My grandpa died in 2002 and the wounds he suffered during the war was a contribution factor to his demise. Continue resting in peace 🕊️

Yeah maumau was an insane sex cult that practiced rape, bestiality and homosexual rituals.. they killed 200 europeans.. mostly children and a few women over 10 years but probably 15000-20000 africans.. rape and torture were standard..

My 90 years old grandmother from Gatundu north always tell us she will never review the whole story of what they went through in the hands of the brutal British empire because It is very painful to remember or talk about. Her husband(My grandpa) who I am named after died in hospital In 1987 due to injuries suffered after he was captured. May he RIP peace and to many more years to grandma

You are spouting false, outdated 70-year-old Imperial British propaganda used at the time of the uprising to portray the Mau Mau as a band of thieves and criminals. Today, in the Republic of Kenya there are memorials for victims of British rule, the mau mau fighters are regarded as national heros.
