@SomoinaKapeen False Kikuyu and Massai never intermarried, once in a while they used to have friendly fights and they would steal each other's animal's and young women, the women would then be integrated in their new homes by use of traditions.
@Smithsimid@muthonyyyyy If your God teaches lessons through killings or by allowing them, maybe it’s time to rethink your relationship with that God—because that’s not how love, justice, or true divinity works
@21wanjiku Wanjiku coka na muci, umenye maithe manyu makwima kirathimo niki. Besa ni utonga, na utoga ni ngemi cia mwana wa kairitu, hari ngemi iria 4.
Kwogo kuaga besa, kana mbeca kwaga kuruma moko ni maithe manyu maratuma ndumiriri.
No, that is false. Most of the deaths were never documented—many records were destroyed or deliberately hidden. The Kikuyu community was brought to the brink of extinction during this period.
Approximately 80% of all Mau Mau fighters who were arrested—many of them innocent—were hanged in colonial gallows. Around 10% were spared only because they were underage, and the remaining 10% were either released or escaped through rare opportunities.
During the Emergency, the colonial governor launched a covert operation aimed at wiping the Kikuyu people from the face of the earth. Part of this strategy involved killing boys as young as five.
Many killings went unrecorded. A tragic example is the Lari Massacre, where colonial Home Guards retaliated by slaughtering hundreds of Kikuyu men suspected of supporting the Mau Mau. Their bodies were never accounted for—dumped and disposed of in secrecy.
In truth, the number of Kikuyus killed was likely well over 100,000.
Yes.
Ngai Mũlungu was not someone we BELIVED in — we knew Him. We experienced Him.
Ngaĩ Mwene Nyaga heard our prayers, and it didn’t take three years of constant pleading for Him to respond. One prayer was enough. We would go up the mountain with our prayer and sacrifice, and by the time we descended, our prayer had been answered.
We didn’t need to pray to Him constantly — there was nothing lacking. He had already provided everything we needed. All we did was offer praise and thanksgiving.
@hilary_kartel@sholard_mancity You right . Also local newspapers from 1900 to 1963 provide a powerful record of the nation’s state—an unfiltered archive that helps us truly understand what transpired during that period. They hold the real history, often hidden from official narratives.
Because we lost our identity, many communities in Kenya abandoned their way of life and worship that existed long before colonization.
After colonization, they adopted the god of their colonizers, forgetting their own. They also traded their cultural values and behaviors for those of their masters. In truth, they remain slaves—indirectly. True freedom will only come when they return to their roots, reclaim their culture, and restore their identity.
It's a peoples problem not a government problem, without the people we would not have no community, nor country or government. When the people loss their identity, they mess up their lives.
@calvinokello4 Gachagua calls himself Gitungati, a son of the Mau Mau—the same Mau Mau who planned and executed the removal of the white man.
Same spirit at play, Mr. Ruto is fighting a war he cannot win.
@FauzKhalid We all know that the government was rejected by the people a year ago. The president and the entire political class are now illegitimately clinging to power.
