BRITISH CRIMES IN KENYA SHOCK JOHN OLIVER
The United Kingdom's monarchs have been rehabilitated as people holding harmless ceremonial offices that only lend prestige to Britain. However, for the hundreds of millions of people who lived as second-class citizens throughout the lands Britain looted and pillaged starting in the 16th century, it’s a different story.
In this episode from last year of comedian John Oliver’s satiric news programme, he laid bare one of the most cruel acts Britain committed. It occurred in Kenya during the first decade of recently-deceased Queen Elizabeth II’s reign.
In late October to early November, her son, King Charles III, visited Kenya for four days at Kenyan President William Ruto's invitation. However, police were used to block the venue for a press conference that was planning to condemn British forces' recent abuses while stationed in Kenya.
Many Kenyans have called for reparations for communities, such as the Kikuyu people, who were placed in concentration camps, as the Mau Mau freedom fighters waged war against British occupiers. Thousands were tortured and killed, while many more were maimed. In Kenya’s Rift Valley, after deceiving one of the chiefs, Koitalel arap Samoei, to travel for negotiations with the British, they killed him, and took his skull to England. His people continue calling for his remains to be returned.
Despite colonial governance formally ending, various British multinational companies, such as Finlays—one of the biggest tea companies in the world—still occupy land they seized and exploited, beginning many decades ago.
