I'm watching this and it makes me remember my social studies teacher Mr dk wanjohi.....he taught us real history....he used to say I'll teach you what is in the books so you pass the exams then I'll teach you what's real so one day you stand up for your country like those who came before you. He taught us about all these heroes and more . God bless you teacher
Kumbukumbu kwa hao wanaharakati waliotukomboa kutoka himaya ya wazungu mabeberu wa Uingereza. Tunazira serikali yetu tangia nyakati za Rais wa kwanza, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta kuwaacha na familia zao wasikwao na baadhi yao mahamahamaji. Kenya inahitaji ukombozi mpya wa fikira na utendakazi ili ihudumie wananchi kwa njia faafu.
Our heroes lived in poverty,fought in poverty,got Indepence for us...Dying in poverty right now amongst the very own people and land they struggled for. This will haunt Kenya forever.
The real killers of Field Marshall BAIMUNGI WA MARETE in 1965 succesor of Dedan kimathi (hanged by british imperlialists/colonialists in 1957) together with 7 of his (baimungi) Mau Mau's generals was NOT Mzee JOMO KENYATTA but JACKSON HARVESTOR ANGAINE Kenya's first post independence carbinet Minister/secretary of lands and settlements IN JOMO KENYATTAS CARBINET BELIVE IT OR NOT in collaboration with Baimungi's own brother!!!!.For further details cut/copy and paste the following video link: : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BG0nzuLbO04.html on youtube or googe .WAOW.What an unfortunate ,shocking but fascinating story. Angaine was the KIller!!!
Yesterday, his son literally asked for us to be colonised, by calling upon the World Bank to come in and help the private sector. And that is after supervising corruption and theft of trillions of Kenya Shillings.
Thank you for this piece, it's so good to see my late grandmother alive and talking and for fellow Kenyans to learn so much about the Heroism of my Grandfather Baimungi and other Heros.
We owe your family a huge debt of gratitude. As we head to elections, I want to encourage young Kenyans to familiarize themselves with their history. It will help this generation understand the responsibility we hold to emancipate this nation. It is more of a moral imperative
Thank you so much John Allan Namu....God willing, i will show all my future children this video...SHAME ON THE KENYAN EDUCATION SYSTEM FOR NOT TEACHING THIS IN SCHOOLS!!! This is our true history,not that watered down garbage they teach.
They won't teach real Kenyan history because those oppressing freedom fighters are the ones in power and 💰. They want to give Kenyan children convenient history. God is on the throne.
i hope you understand why WSR tells the youth like you not to bother about history! He knows that if the youth could check their history, they would not touch most of the current leaders with 20foot stick,they would stay a million miles away!
Our history books were published by the Jomo Kenyatta foundation, no wonder we grew with such esteem for the man, in my mind it was Jomo Kenyatta and the Mau mau just like Bob Marley and the wailers, but over time I came to realise that Jomo went in after independence and sought his own good and glory at the expense of almost everyone else.
I look forward to the day such documentaries will be part of our education system. Otherwise, Kenya cannot pride itself in having a populace that is politically conscious because most of them do not know their history. They are simply guided to make political decisions that affect governance issues based on guesses and political sycophancy. Our education system is really distorted and I hate to admit that I have learned more about Kenyan history from books, biographies, Twitter, You Tube, and The Elephant than from what I studied in primary and secondary school. Thanks Namu for the excellent piece!
Kenyatta did the Kikuyu dirty over land, he was willing to shunt them to Tanzania but Nyerere refused, so he sent them to the Rift Valley (to the ancestral lands of others!), I laugh when landless Kikuyus keep on voting for the Kibaki's and Kenyatta's.
Is it just me who gets so emotional over this? Kenya is built on sweat and blood of the maumau's, and to think what they went through to regain our land from the Brits and the kind of lives these veterans are living tears me up. It's just so shameful that the government sweeped them under the minute the colonialists hit exit. I hope one day all Kenyans will enjoy the fruits our forefathers fought for.
You are not alone. This deep anger and sadness, at the betrayal, oh the betrayal. But one day, the wrongs will be righted and our forefathers will finally rest.
Kwanza that jomo Kenyatta ...he makes me sick... That guy was a sellout. Why betray these guys this much??? They literally shed blood and gave out their lives yet he couldn't recognize that.
I want to thank you Allan Nanu For starting this most crucial topic. It needs to be told and to be written as History of Kenya. Our freedom is not for free We need education and unbiased information In order to preserve it
That which does not kill me can only make me stronger; That's for real And I don't see why everybody feel as though that they gotta tell me how to live my life You know? Let me live, baby, let me live
TRandomDude No they it is not taught. This kind of in-depth history one only get it from grandparents of Jomo’s generation. I am lucky I head it first hand from my grandmother. May she RIP.
@@marrionkilbride478 Yes, it is not taught in schools but it is freely available if you seek. I was never taught this stuff in school but I knew it and much more. Kenya has hidden alot of its dark past and that is why it has failed to reconcile with itself.
Watching this in 2022 and I feel a renewed respect for the veterans. Sad that all are being interviewed in mud houses! They should have received the hero treatment they deserve..
Kenyatta didn't deserve to be the president. Actually am among the few if any Kikuyu who hates that man. Kenya would be like Singapore and other countries which received independence so early as we. How can you steal from a naked man who has fought for what he is standing on. Why do Kenyatta family own vast lands both in Central and Riftvalley and worst of all even in coast province? Even if Baimunge was an illiterate, Kenyatta used the most barbaric method in executing justice to the fellow allies who fought so hard. The day I will see justice in Kenya is the day a leader immune to corruption and blackmail will recognize the blood shed and impose "purity" in justice. Kikuyu's might celebrate their own in presidency, but how many have enough resources courtesy of their own leaders? Very few if any. Walk through the stretch of Narumoru, you find a land associated to a single person stretching more than 10km. How can we utter justice and equity if such inequity practices are in place to date? We are not blind. Since independence I bet the development made can't add up to 10% of what was done by they the British from 1930 when they declared Kenya one of their territories to 1953 when the Mau mau regime commenced. I stand to be proved wrong, most of tribesmen are elected in the name of defending tribe properties, which is a total injustice since its not the properties of the common citizen but those of the corrupt leaders being protected. KENYA WILL ONE DAY WAKE UP. AND KENYATTA MESSED KENYA A BIG TIME, HE OWE US PEACE AND JUSTICE WHEREVER HE IS.
timothy muriithi You are not alone. Kenyatta was a traitor who basically got power handed it to him based on his relationship with. Those who actually fight for the cause got nothing. Those who have grandparents who entered the bush to fight can attest to that
timothy muriithi , he rode on hard work and blood and sweat of others. Period. How the title of father of the nation can be used on such a vile despicable person is what I can never understand. But there will be different sections of he'll.
People have been misinformed for a very long and am glad you decided to find out the truth. I too discovered this and was in shock! I do not want to say much even his son Uhuru is not a leader I want, he is just continuing his father’s legacy. The government has hidden lots of secrets and killed those who would testify against them.
TUKO WENGI>> I HATE MY KIKUYU KIN FOLKS WHO SPEAK OF UTHAMAKI AS A BIRTH RIGHT OF THE KENYATTAS>> BUT THEY STOLE THAT BIRTH RIGHT FROM THE TRUE LIBERATORS>> THEY PROMISED FREEDOM AND SOCIALIST IDEALS BUT THAT WAS JUST A PAPER CALLED SESSION 10>> THEY KILLED ANYONE WHO KNEW OR HAD A MEMORY OF THEIR CULTURAL LANDS>> AND EMANCIPATION OF THAT LAND MEANT LEADERS WOULD ARISE AND SHAKE THE STATUS QUO AND HAVE REGIONAL AUTHORITY TO CONTROL THEIR PEOPLE>>HENCE POWER WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PEOPLES AND NOT THE ELITE>> SO YOU HAD TO CLEAN UP THIS PEOPLE AND ERASE THEIR HISTORY AND TERM THEM AS TRAITORS>> AND SP]LIT REGIONS ETHNICALLY SO THAT THE CONTROL OF POWER WOULD BE CONCENTRATED WITHIN TRIBAL DEMAGOGUES>> THEY HAVE CONSOLIDATED ALL PROFITABLE LAND AMONG-ST THEMSELVES
Very informative. Let's think and rethink before we celebrate our leaders. Turning against the very people who were vouching and eagerly waiting for your release only goes to show how two-faced Jomo was. I cry for all the communities and people who fought and shed blood for the freedom and land that has been stolen and everyday is being stolen right in front of our eyes. May we be found on the right side of history. This is my prayer.
I'm so glad to have come across this video at such a time as this. I'm currently on my fourth book that details the accounts of Mau Mau and the struggle for land and freedom. I have had so many mixed emotions since I began this journey, I don't even know what to say and how to feel anymore. Kenyatta should have handled this differently as soon as he assumed power. Kenyatta is the reason Kenya is such a fucked up nation 59 years later! Yes, most of the Mau Mau were illiterate but what would it have cost if you grant them land and peace of mind as the bare minimum? Look at how they have all suffered and perished in poverty. My God. Long live MauMau😭❤️
Thank u, Baimingi, Deedan Kimathi n Marete for fighting the mzungu so we can live freely, thank. As for Johnston Jomo, l hv no words. I think that pl the old man is saluting should be a museum hata tulipe tuenda kuona and the funds given to the wives n the remaining FF, wooiiii!! I feel so sorry for them. Gitobu do s'thing.
I am very impressed by the senior counsel articulation of the events behind the murder of the real heroes of the liberation. It's always the same especially with Africans, we are our worst enemy. Just like Lucky dive said, the enemy will stand aside and watch as we kill one another. Most African have a memory span of a warthog driven by greed.
THE GREATEST BETRAYAL OF ALL TIMES.Thank you JOHN ALLAN NAMU for this informative piece. History that is never taught in school because they don't want this generation to know the truth. 'FIELD MARSHAL BAIMUNGI MARETE'
If you passionate about Kenya direction. Vunja mifupa, not literally. Keep our Country heros elevated. Maa, Nandi and Samburu rebellion. GEMA, you guyz. 🇰🇪 Kenya aki ni mzuri.
I wondered if Dedan Kimathi had a successor. Now I know. Land was the source of greed and inhumane acts upon post independent Kenya. Joseph Murumbi speaks quite eloquently. Exposure of soldiers in World War II: Truly, kutembea kwingi ni kuona mengi. About the British 'expedition': the white man is a greedy brute and for Kenyans to fight each other in the 21st century is sad. Internal conflict will break you down while the new scramble for Africa will leave you. Think higher, work smarter and remember your ancestors...they expect you to do better now that you have history to learn from.
Every Kenyan needs to watch this, learn the true history of our country. Its only then that we get the right footing to right the numerous wrongs in our beloved country. It breaks my heart that such injustices happened to people who sacrificed their literal lives. That Kenyatta thought he would short change the Mau Mau n get away with it is beyond evil. That family's downfall will be monumental.
Official registration of the Mau Mau On 11 November 2003, the Kibaki government formally registered the Mau Mau movement, disregarding the colonial-era legislation that had outlawed the organisation and branded its members "terrorists". In his remarks during the handing over of the certificate, Vice President Moody Awori regretted that it had taken 40 years for the group to be officially registered despite the sacrifices the Mau Mau had made for Kenya's independence.[27]
Kikuyu's knows but everyone hate even poor Kikuyu's who has suffered all along. At least be the devil u know than ángel you dont know. All Kikuyu's know Kenyatta family treated them bad but if they try to join other tribes hate them ...

Angaine was the KIller!!!
It's painful to watch this. It reminds me of so many Kipsigis KARs soldiers who died in Burma during the second world war and their names are listed in the county assembly of Kericho County. They fought and died in a war that had nothing to do with them in a faraway land as their land was in Kericho was grabbed to plant tea! I shed tears!
I pitty this tik tok, insta generation that feels no zeal whatsoever to learn such. For us to be a politically empowered generation we need to learn and understand our detailed past. Thank you Allan Namu!
This piece should be aired once every month untill every sober citizen realizes that it's their fathers who killed our grandpa's n made this country theirs...#kenya_is_not_yet_free
I live in Nyeri and work in Nyeri and many people call the younger Kenyatta, Muthamaki, it's as if a whole community was taught to worship a landed class that stole their land, same as us in Baringo with Moi
The water was made bitter and has remained bitter, we need to find out why? By knowing our true history not the one we are told by homeguards and their supporters!
If you want to understand Kenya from 1900 until independence and what people went through during Mau Mau, just read this book, “Histories of the hanged: The dirty war in Kenya and end of empire” by David Anderson. It was a very sad period.
Gruesome horrors what they went through. To think they nor their descendants got compensated fairly totally explains why Kenya is so dysfunctional today. Profoundly saddens me.
And we wonder why Kenya is still this way. The blood and the tears of our ancestors are crying from the grave. This is just sad to watch and hard to believe we're just minjinga to vote for these people over and over again. The mau's descendants are stl living in poverty yet they fought for what atleast we had and those who never fought for it are living good lifestyles 😭😭😭😭
Kenyas denstiny is in our own hands. Instead of voting for leaders who can take our country to greater heights we keep on voting for leaders who are corrupt, selfish and uncapable of leading a country.
Am not old enough to know what the maumau went through but watching this make me wonder what these people who call themselves leader are selling. BBI is just another way to tell the ordinary Kenyan to shut up and move on. Dont question our wealth which we took away from your grandparents.
This is very informative and blunt. 50+ yrs into independence and this is all we can show. Field Marshall Baimungi's family and all FFighters families must be compensated. This is a shame. Kenyattas and the big families are so gluttonous. My God. When will we ever know Peace as Kenyans? Ngai Wa Tha!!!!
Very educative documentary, good job Allan. This is the kind of history that should be taught at school, shown from one generation to the next one. We should know how things came to be. Apparently I hear that the Kenyan government received money from the UK some years ago to Compensate the freedom fighters, where is the money? It is such a SHAME, SHAME!!
So sad...God knows how I hate Jomo Kenyatta and his family...and they are lucky that I don't have any political ambitions to ever be a president..coz I would address the land issue either by constitutional amendment or by the sword as a dictator....the maximum I can allow his family or moi's to own is 5,000 acres until I allocate to every squatter in Kenya....I know I can be a dictator especially to those families and corrupt people in this country..A mixture of Thomas sankara of Burkina Faso,Jerry rawlings of Ghana and Muammar Gadaffi of Libya...not even demons would change me or convince me otherwise,and on this am sure.
~~~~~ _Before independence, Kenya had resources while Kenyatta gave the promise of hope to share this with all Kenyans. After independence, Kenyatta took the resources and Kenyans were left with hope that it will all come back. We are still…_
Allan Nyamu even if you are no longer with KTN, Thank you for this. We all need to feel this....that slow boiling rage, that anger, that sadness of a still birth. The betrayal, and the cojones of the victors rewriting history. Goddammit! If you want to feel more of that slow-burn-betrayal look for work by maina wa kinyatti. And if you have cucus and gukas, or really old wazees, talk to them...most know the truth, and they will tell you we are not yet free.
That was many years ago....and many years later, nothing has changed!!!! We are back in the forest, but worse we not fighting like our fore fathers did!!! NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.. SAME OLD, SAME OLD!!! VERY SAD INDEED ....
This documentary have open my eyes, and i seen what baba Uhuru,did to Kenyan... am writing this with a painful heart, uhuru the son should give back same of the land to the community, most to those freedom fighters, who have nothing to, be proud about...kenya we need a change.....i like that mzee who was asking those people who said they buyed the shamba we're did they get the money from..good reporting but painful.....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.😭😭
The money was provided by the British government in the form of loans and grants to buy out the white settlers who wanted to leave. And the white settlers were compensated but most of that land was transferred to the new ruling class and in particular, Kenyatta and his friends.
It sad to learn that General Chui was taken out by govt of the day. He led the Maumau in one of the bloodiest battles “mbaara ya ruui ruiru” where colonialists lost 3000 soldiers. His sole offence.... asking for land after indipendence. What happened to “Wiyathi na ithaka” that Maumau fought for？The betrayal is too painful.
General Baimunge was assassinated by the Govt of the day. It made sure no "real maumau" general survived to see corraboraters of colonial rulers ruling Kenya. I lost all my three uncles fighting in forest and we were herded in "protected villages" like pigs. The ruling dynasties continued with education for all there kins.
As a historian lover Jomo Kenyatta and Tom Mboya were no heroes, they were just smart trick players who knew how to use cards to their own favour. The fact that Gen. Mwairama's family till this day is languishing in poverty shows how they were just being used.
The silver lining on this story is that land does not move. It is not an animal or car that one steal and go away with..... The chicken will come home to roost. Unfortunately it shall come at such a high price because patience by a people can only be stretched so far. With what pple know now its only a matter of time. Discord is growing. Its now evidently unsustainable to keep pple quiet and obedient... The drums are rolling again.. Justice wants its rightful seat at the table.
