Kenya Remained In The Grip Of Cruel British Rulers
When in September 2001, the present world super power was attacked that made it made and it attacked Muslim countries Iraq and Afghanistan and killed millions of Muslims for 3000 persons killed in 9/11. The similar brutalities were carried out by the past super power Britain a half century ago in Kenya.
Britain occupied Kenya in 1895 The greed of fertile lands of this African country attracted them to capture it. The new white settlers planted coffee orchards and started to huge money. This land belonged to the largest Kenyan tribe Kekoyou that was snatched. Not only this but the tribesmen were forced to work in the coffee orchards as laborers.
White settlers were proud and treated the black people like animals. Every black person was ordered to off the cap to present respect to any white person if seen on the road. Sueing the British government in 2009, the Kenyan victim Najeeromou said we were sure that white people would never follow the path of justice and law when they entered our country. They treated us like slaves and posed themselves the actual owners of the lands.
Kenyan people tolerated brutalities for half a century but at last the cruelties became intolerant for them then within Kekoyou a big big group called Mau Mau took birth that wanted to start freedom movement. The freedom fighters started attacking white people from September 1952 and killed 32 of the English men. All the .15 million inhabitants of Kekoyou tribe were targeted as revenge by the Britishers.
During the next 8 years new and innovative methods of torture were practiced on the unarmed Kenyans that devil would be ashamed of. A renown historian and professor of history in Harvard University Karolene wrote a book in 2005 on Mau Mau mutiny(as Britishers say, though it was freedom fight) "Britain's Gulag: The Brutal End Of Empire In Kenya", the book was also awarded Pulter's Award. This book is actually the documentary proofs of crimes of British Empire in Kenya. In the prison camp first the thousands of Kenyans were tried to brain washed and those who did not accept british rule were killed brutally. People were hanged upside down and head sank in water then soil was put in their rectum(anus). Men and women were humiliated with the help of knives, broken bottles, scorpions and snakes. Women were handed over to guards for gang rape,they were thrown to dogs, electric shocks were used to be given, . English men invented special apparatus that pulled the sexual organs of men and mammary glands of women. Eyes were pulled out, nose and ears were cut.They were forced to eat faeces and drink urine. They were tied behind the carts with utensil full of stool on their heads and carts were made to run on stony ways speedily.
These were the brutalities and actual and dark face of the British era in colonial age of today's civilized nation and the world. The brutalities carried out in the sub continent after 1957 freedom struggle on the freedom fighters were no less than those done to Kenyans. The ancestors of todays Feudal lords in our country were faithful to Britishers for which they got lands and properties from masters.
