- While most people are well versed with the happenings of the 1982 Failed Military Coup by a group of Kenya Air Force Officers, very little or nothing is said of an earlier coup plot in 1971. Though the 1971 Coup Plan was scuttled before execution, it was the first attempt at power grab in Kenya. This video uncovers details of the little known 1971 Coup Attempt.

Omondi Pilot. First in his class. First African pilot in Kenya. Great documentary.
funny how a good proportion of these politicians and military guys died through 'road accidents'. Brilliant documentary
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
I never heard about this attempted coup! May peace continue to reign in our land. Oh God of all creation, bless this our land and Nation Amen!
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.
At least the reasons for the coup attempt were somewhat valid. This compared to some coups that happened in other Afrikan countries. The GEMA oaths to consoidate power over the other nations(tribes) was going to be our undoing. The divisive poitical structure still haunts us.
It shows that tribal politics was engrained in our political system since independence.
So sad that we still let tribes divide us rather than let our diversity be the our strength.
We need to rethink our political structure, frankly the system that we have still works for the white man who colonized us rather than for us. We are still not free, Neocolonialism is alive and well.
The time is now!! Decolonize your mind. The future of Afrika depends on it.
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?
Great documentary good job
Both Hon. CJ Mewndwa and Gen. Ndolo died in road accidents...the coincidence!🤨
Kenya is such a beautiful country. Held back by tribalism and corruption.
Both ills are perpetuated by our leaders unfortunately!
R.I.P Prof Ouma Muga. You were such a patriot.
There'll always be someone who'll be your enemy and will envy your position not calculating how you got in the position.
A well done documentary!
Good content.
Such a good documentary. The channel deserves more subscriptions starting with me.
The love of God will always be with us don't you forget.
1.39 Force Commanders...Army commander James Lellesian Lengees...My Mentor...R.I.P General.
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?
First time to hear this thanks
Very educative
The 1971 coup is rarely mentioned ,the 1982 is more outspoken.
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.
With all the oathing going on back then, naget msee akiattempt coup.
The leaders who always think only about themselves will never have peace in their hearts.
Very nice documentary
Kenya is truly a blessed county...God has protected this country from any occurrence of a coup d'etat...God has really protected Kenyatta and Moi
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❤❤
Well covered
Lovely voice
Hopefully the two road accident never happened at KONZA" where mysterious bees hang around just attacking drivers as what happende on 12.dec.1972! RIP RIP RIP our gallant the Coast Reginol President the Late Ronald Gedion Ngalla!
16:57 Nyiva Mwenda was very pretty back in the day.
We all age bro.
Why we don't have this recollection?
2:53, who else saw it?
Saw what 😂
Rest in peace muzee jomo Kenyatta and mwalimu Julius kambarage musitafa Nyerere.
Lots of people on such issues have been dying on road accidents and everyone believed that !
Why did they both die in road accidents?. Or were they "road accidents"?.
The road accidents are suspicious
Very much suspicious 😅
1966 military mutiny by Lanet based barracks, marching to Nakuru town
Very peculiar Road accidents...good stuff
Sana sana,was a plotted.
Make more, please
A lack of huge amounts valuable resources has probably also helped keep external players from influencing our military.
History ....
....if you are frustrated by your employer just resign honourably and make a living from without.Hii mambo ya kuleta vujo si mzuri ata kidogo.
Decent documentary,🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
I remember this quite vividly, even the...muma/oath.
Hehe kwani how old are you
ndolo,mulinge,kitili,mwendwa,
KENYA 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 KENYA ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉. l MISS MY COUNTRY
Are you in exile?😮
Raila should have taken the 2022 elections more seriously; as a family, they have paid the biggest price for the freedoms that we enjoy.
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.
Ive never heard of this
Same
"Road accidents" 😑😑
Owino was just a fall man.
Even the immediate appointee is 5050
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!
1969 kisumu massacre during officials opening of Russian hospital. Kenyatta was pelted with stones in presence of Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, then leader of opposition party KPU. Raila Azimio's stone throwing culture has long history.
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
Who is that small kid being held by these politicians at the end of the video? He must be a great person
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.
Never trust a Luo on a higher position in govt. Ruto gambled with ogolla.
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
Both coup attempts were supposed to stop what we are going through today . They saw the beast that was being born by short sighted men 😢
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.
Tribalism is now worst under Ruto.
Close shave after close shave
There's something generic about Kambas, THEY WILL ALWAYS BETRAY YOU!
😂😂😂
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?
Anyone feeling persecution of Luos is okay, is weak and intimidated by their brilliance
We now have a luo in charge
He's dead now...of 'natural ' causes
road accidents what a coincidence
You forgot Daniel Kipkurui Langat
Mmm
Wah! This would have been bad
Copycat coups. That seems to be the trend in West Africa. Thank God East and South Africa have been spared.
Major General Ndolo not Dollar
Maybe Kenya would have been a better country if these coups were successful.
Such a pity to look at us now..
If not for Nyerere maybe we'd have a different Kenya.
A Kenya that would have been led by professionals and not power hungry and greedy undeserving leaders right from the start
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
This one of 1971 would have been the best coordinated if it had succeed.
The same old tribalist political stories, we are just used to this 😅
Too many names starting with O
It's about the age and not race.
Luo men started ruling uganda and they spoiled everything Kina Obote Amin ,tito okelo ,oyet ojocko
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
Jaluos & Coups go hand in hand!
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...
I don't know who advises president Ruto.Putting Ogolla as military chief is like history repeating itself but this time,in more leathal way
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.
so luos have been planning coup all along
Kitili's wife was beautiful
Only kalenjins masaai Somali you can trust with military leadership,, Kenya is safe under them🇰🇪
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
Laughing about HE DIED IN A ROAD ACCIDENT.
Two coup plotters died in a road accident!!
DON'T PLOT A COUP, YOU MAY DIE IN A ROAD ACCIDENT
Jaramogi Oginga Odinga was never at any point detained by President Jomo Kenyatta government....only detention of him was house arrest in President Moi days!
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.
Kikuyu is too tribal
1971 jaluo tried they failed, 1982 they tried again n it failed in 2022 they tried again it failed do i think they will trumy again yap but i know they will fail
My personal opinion is Kitili & Ndola both got a deal from Jomo to resign, live quietly and never touch pol;it is and they’ll be free. I don’t think Ndolo was killed but died of a genuine road accident. Kitili’s definitely a hi but by Moi after thinking just because Jomo died he could now get into politics again freely.
