The British had Concentration camps in Kenya, 1952 to 1960. They stole trillions of dollars from Kenya, rape the women and girls and killed thousands of African men and boys.
the Mau Mau Uprising, a significant anti-colonial and independence movement in Kenya that took place from 1952 to 1960. During this time, Kenya was under British colonial rule, and there were indeed serious human rights abuses and violence on both sides.

The British colonial authorities responded to the Mau Mau Uprising with a brutal counterinsurgency campaign that included the use of detention camps where suspects, including civilians, were held. These camps have been criticized for their harsh conditions and allegations of mistreatment, torture, and abuse.

It is documented that atrocities occurred during this period, including violence against civilians, but it is important to emphasize that not all British authorities or individuals were involved in these actions, and many people in the UK and around the world were opposed to the violence and sought justice.

In recent years, there have been efforts to acknowledge and address the historical injustices of this period, both by the British government and through legal actions. Truth and reconciliation processes and compensation for survivors have been part of these efforts.

The history of colonialism in Kenya, like in many other parts of Africa, is complex and has had a lasting impact on the country. It's important to engage with this history in a nuanced and historically accurate manner and to remember the suffering and resilience of the people who lived through these times.
