The 1971 Kenyan Coup Attempt | A Chronicle 

Kenyatta hit them with muthi

I was thinking the same.

@@LesegoMakgorogo Mzee died in 1978 while the two Ndolo and Mwendwa died in 1984 & 85 respectively.

I was thinking the same thing too. Accident twice is no longer accident

Amen 🙏🙏🙏

Maybe, this would have the serious consequences we are dealing with today nipped in the bud, and I wish it was successful.what with the theft and relocation and the double stupid 24 hour given to landowners to vacate their owners land and unsuspecting beneficialias conned till today. Today's owners are just but thieves.

Well said. Our diversity should be our strength. We need a system that recognizes this just like the Swiss system with four tribes and it is working very well.

Are we watching the same thing.. why did the Gema Oaths begin?

Both ills are perpetuated by our leaders unfortunately!

Oh, Yes, Gen. Lengees. I'm from Laikipia. He ended up being a full time rancher in our neighbouring Samburu. So, I see Gen. Mulinge, Gen. Mohammed and another guy. Who is the fourth man?

For political expediency

There was no coup in 1971, just plans. The 1982 one was an attempt.

@@snownfire There was no bloodshed in 1971 unlike 1982.

1971 coup plot didn't go beyond the planning stage. 1982 coup attempt went beyond the plotting stage.

@@georgeodhiambo598 And with deadly aftermath to the plotters and those who obeyed their call.

Nikama hizi mambo ni za kitambo.

Indeed, one would be forgiven for concluding that God resides in Kenya

@@tushyranx5860 Kenya is choose for greatness. Many fail in their countries only to come and succeed in Kenya .

Chosen not choose.

​@@bernardkariuki8904❤❤

We all age bro.

Very much suspicious 😅

Saw what 😂

Sana sana,was a plotted.

Hehe kwani how old are you

Which price have they paid for freedom???His dad was a gentleman but Raila is a hooligan in chief per excellence & anarchist!

@@bjournkamau3441 Your question disqualifies the relevance of a legitimate answer that can be given to you.

​@@bjournkamau3441 So expected from a Kikuyu gege

If your context is post independence, that's worth considering certainly. IMHO, the families of the men and women who fought for years to remove the white man, paid the biggest price for our freedom.

​@@bjournkamau3441 RAO is not perfect but his role in the push for democracy in Kenya cannot be denied TBH.

Why so?

Ndolo was not Luo

He didn't. Ogolla is a good and decent man. When Ruto was interviewing him, he asked him about that Bomas madness (attempted coup). Gen. Ogolla told him that he had no answer. That he had noting to say and that if that was the problem, he (Ogolla) was okay with not being given the job. Ruto knew that it wasn't Ogolla's scheme but uhuru's and that the good Gen. was just following orders........illegal orders from his C-i-C. I am cool with Gen. Ogolla and I am a Ruto supporter......once an avid Uhuru supporter before he lost his marbles.

funny enough Ruto chose Ogola because Ogola actually saved Ruto at Bomas. Uhuru/Raila sent Ogola plus others to overturn Rutos win, Ogola got to Bomas and sent back a message that what was going on at Bomas was political and not a security concern. meaning he would not intefere and he would have only done so if there was a threat to our security. He saved Ruto's win and Ruto saw a principled man with integrity and chose him. Though he was next in line

@@moseskiplagat5940 if he was the next in line then it implies that he merited from the circumstance not Ruto

Highly unlikely, in hindsight. Some of them had that goal but it’s clear that most of them were looking to be the main benefactors of the same ills & not really eliminate them.

So you have made stone throwing bad than massacres?

@@coffeeradio6270 the massacre happened coz they started throwing chairs at the presp Jomo.

@@muotinzmultiply88 you must be very funny. Does that warrant a massacre even of innocent people?! Or it's okay coz it's not your people?!

​@@muotinzmultiply88You sound pretty stupid. Is it justifiable that civilians along Kisumu-Kericho road should have been massacred because of some specific unrest at some specific location in Kisumu town? There are sound reasons why Kenya has always been a hotch potch mixture of discordant tiny tribe-nations while Tanzania is thriving as a country nation.

Emotions were running high as so many prominent Luos had been assassinated by the government

Are you in exile?😮

😂😂😂

Absolutely true😜😜

These are fake we know everything about ndolo and Gideon munyao concerning Thika thus why Kenyatta gazzetted all these malicious things to have Thika in Kiambu instead of Machakos and making sure kambas are thrown out of GEMA,we know how Kabaa High school chatter was taken to Mang,u when by then Mang,u was day school.For your information Kambas have produced more generals than any other tribe in kenya and have been royal.These are tricks Kenyatta used rule kenya.Can,t forget about Mwariama and Dedan Kimathi,if Kenya has betrayers Start with Kikuyu very opportunstic characters

The mistake here was involving luos,they never shut their mouths....why tell nyerere surely?

He's not their as an appointee. He's there deservedly and there's nothing you can do about it, not even your corrupt president can do a damn thing you tribal halfwit!

That's Ngala Mwendwa's son on the occasion of his baptism at the All Saints Cathedral, Nairobi. Uganda's President Obote was his baptismal father.

@@kavaziOfficial Thanks.

Same

He's dead now...of 'natural ' causes

like Uganda and Congo?

@@mosesgikonyo7929 do you know in the late 60s Kenya sent aid to Malaysia? Slowly through the years the poor leadership saw us all become inferior to other countries we supported.. we did not lack the knowledge, we did not lack the leaders, they were all just silenced... And here we are now. Hakuna kitu Cha maana kujivunia kuwa mkenya .. when so many people are living in poverty, so much ethical division and hate, people dying of hunger, so many inequalities and inequities... I fear for the future of my children in this country, but I will do my part to make it better.

@@asiagomisiani4817Good, coz malaysia never had coups or attempted coups. Think of somalia, congo, sudan, uganda, sierra leone, vietmam, etc. Lybia was better under a dictator than after coup

​@@mosesgikonyo7929No. Like Ghana with Jerry Rawlings. Coups can straighten despotic regimes, in the same way Rawlings put Ghana on a path of orderliness, not once, but twice.

@@georgeodhiambo598 most perpetrators of coup are despotic themselves

Amin is not a Luo and will never be even in his next life!😂

​@bellaolum9768 how many group of luos do you know it seems you never went to school, Japadhola, Acholi,Alur, Kakua, even Igbo from Nigeria are lost luos beramu amagezi

And Langi in ug are luos we have luos in kenya Ug Tz South sudan congo, Ethiopia and parts of Nigeria 😅 so shartup

@@pastorgideontruzindaminist8746 no Luos in Nigeria, that's a myth

​@bellaolum9768 it's okey but igbo are lost luos because they are not bantu neither cushaits

How so?

I concur whith you that history might indeed repeat itself but hope this does not happen.

Nothing he could do on that

We aren't in 1970's today every evil plans always leaks into media so it will be hard for Ogolla

OGOLLA is just ceremonial figurehead.

A tribal bigot is what you are 😂

Uncivilised

Na Bado ,utado

In 1979 Uganda exiles in Tanzania, Kenya led by Gen Tito Okello, Gen Bazillio Olara Okello, Gen Oyite Ojok supported by Tanzania President Julius Nyerere and Kenya VP Oginga Odinga( close friends Obote ,graduates of Makerere and same ethnic group) launched a rebellion against Idi Amin through Mwanza/Lake Victoria restoring President Milton Obote . In 1980 Yoweri Museveni disagreed with Obote and Launched Luweero war . Gen David Oyite Ojok(one of best trained soldiers in Uganda history, at least 6 years EU,US) died in a plane crash on his way to Luweero . This changed the direction of the war . Between 1981-86 Paul Kagame and Fred Rwigema together with other banyarwanda tutsi exiled in Uganda fought alongside Yoweri Museveni in Uganda . In 1985 regional/nepotistic disagreements between Uganda National Liberation Army Commander, General Tito Okello(Luo-Acholi) and President Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) over the promotion of Smith Acak Opon(Luo-Langi) to replace the late Gen Oyite Ojok(Luo-Langi) instead of General Bazillio Okello(Luo-Acholi) caused a coup against Milton Obote . Gen Tito Okello became president(1985-86) and Gen Bazillio Okello became army commander . Daniel Moi called peace talks in Nairobi between Yoweri Museveni and Gen Tito Okello . The agreement(witnessed by Ambassador Bethwell Kiplagat of Kenya) required Gen Tito Okello to be president and Yoweri Museveni to be vice president . THE TALKS COLLAPSED when Soldiers allied to Yoweri Museveni and led by Rwandans Paul Kagame and Fred Rwigema continued a push against Gen Tito Okello led Soldiers mostly Luo-Acholi,Luo-Langi in Uganda including Airforce Commander Major Alfred Otto, Airforce Cpt Harry Oluoch,Cpt Peter Oringi,Major Stephen Abili,Lt Col Wilson Okonga,Lt Col John Ogole, Buffalo Commander Major Eric Odwar. Yoweri Museveni became president of Uganda in 1986 . Paul Kagame became head of intelligence in Uganda and moved to the US FOR MILITARY TRAINING . In 1987 a rebellion against Yoweri Museveni was launched by LRA Luo-Acholi led by JOSEPH KONY , Alice Auma Lakwena , Dominic Ongwen , David Otti, Okot Odhiambo ,Raska Lukwiya ,Nixman Opuk Oryanga ,Ceaser Achellum ,Bunia Ocan . By 1990 banyarwanda tutsi led by Fred Rwigema , who had been deputy defense minister in Uganda, had launched an offensive against president Juvenal Habyarimana of Rwanda . After the death of Fred Rwigema Paul Kagame returned to Rwanda and became head of RPF . Habyarimana plane was downed in 1994 . By 1996 Paul Kagame and Yoweri Museveni supported Laurent Kabila against President Mobutu Seseko in Congo . Laurent Kabila was also supported by Banyarwanda tutsi in Congo(Banyamulenge) who form the bulk of M23 led by Sultani Makenga . Laurent Kabila became President in Congo in 1997 . Paul Kagame became president in Rwanda in 2000 .

You and ujinga go head to head...

We still have kikuyu traitor s like j kariuki airforce commander by then, and good numbers of Luo s who were part of the coup😏

kamba is true one never 4got

We have a Luo general now. CDF

@@janendegwa5462 Come on! There were Kikuyus involved in the coup attempt of 1982. Some were of even higher ranks that the coup leaders. Seek the info and you will find it. Secondly there is nothing wrong with overthrowing a despotic regime. If a despotic regime fails to be amenable to peaceful democratic change, then that alone makes a violent change, including a military coup, a legitimate process.

Stupid kalejinga

And this is the problem of getting history from tiktok and Instagram. Please talk to your elders before you mislead the next 100 people.

Fool. Where do you read this history from? Jomo locked up Jaramogi in Hola for two years.

He was detained by Kenyatta for 3 years.
