I'm an Indian and I've had the good fortune to live in and explore Kenya. I really, really love the people and the food and culture. Everyone is so polite and soft spoken. The food is simply delicious. I was sad to have to leave for personal reasons. But I'll always cherish the time I spent in Kenya. If I'm blessed with good fortune, I'll be really keen to visit some other countries in Africa and really explore the places. Thankfully I was presented with opportunities to visit deep and remote parts of Kenya so I had the privilege of really talking to and befriending some Kenyans, not just falling into the tourist circles
As a Kenyan am still amazed by Mekatilili Wa Menza, Luanda Magere, Fumo Liyongo, Koitalel Arap Samoei and Wangu Wa Makeri. Education is everything. Are those like totem poles, I thought all along it was a native American thing only. 😳
I recall sitting in a cinema years ago (with an ever-tightening chest) in the former island colony of Trinidad, watching the movie "Out of Africa", as it showcased some of the indignities and atrocities of British colonialism. But hearing Meryl Streep (as Karen Blixen) refer to the indigenous people as "My Kikuyu"... now THAT almost turned my tension-headache into a stroke! 🤔
Just came across your channel. Excellent documentary. Michael Soi is 100% right about China. I feel sad about the less fortunate Kenyans. Thanks again.
It just amazes me how a few hundred or thousand British people were able to boss around hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of Africans. Boggles my mind
I'm still perplexed when I meet Kenyans who don't know slave trade started in East African. Its conveniently left out of a lot of the history studies here. Most of history starts with colonization because that's when border demarcation happened. The Ottoman slave trade likely started in 14th century didn't end until mid 18th century.
any kenyan who studied history in school literally knows about the arab slave trade and the portuguese occupation of Mombasa before they were defeated...vasco da gama pillar was built in the 15th century and that's centuries before colonization
Slave trade was only at the coast and mostly Tanzania and alot of the tribes in kenya were already warrior tribes and killed the slave raiders, Kenya was not an easy place to get slaves
Slaves from East Africa mostly came from Congo and Southern Tanzania and not Kenya, so why should slavery feature in Kenyan history books?? This urge to reduce Africans to skin tone is honestly quite pathetic. We don't all have the same history
@@theturkanabus3610 it you that actually pathetic trying to distance or deny melanin was the one and only category leveled against Afrikans by their evil minded raiders. Get outta here
Very much informative 👍 I love 💘 African people because they are Sweet Cute and very much Sincere friends and wish to have a Nice friend there .I would like to Marry a beautiful girl 👧.
When was filmed🤦 watching this only makes me very upset and bitter...I'm a proud Kenyan and this is like my own grandparents...they sow a corruption seed and 100yrs later we're reaping that nightmare 😭
Sadly, the 'seeds of' this corruption nightmare has been spread Globally & now reigns World Wide > SEEANEWZ >> Time2StandUp4AllLifeIsNOW plz Asante Sana 🙏
Wow I am in love with Afua Hirsch I wish all black women were like her woooW. And I thank her with the whole of my body and soul for making this video and for doing it so factually and so beautifully done but then being so beautiful herself and speaking the truth indeed just how could she of failed?
This earth was here when man arrived. How do they take away another man’s freedom ,another man’s land for his own selfish reason. This will not end well.
AFRICA IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE MY MOTHER LAND THE EUROPEANS CAME AND EXPLORED ITS AMAZING PLACES PEOPLES AND CULTURES AND COLONISED MUCH OF IT BUT AFRICA STILL THRIVES AND PROSPERS TODAY 🟥🟨🟩
Kenya is a multicultural country and what funny is there is a large region called north eastern belong to somali community but when ever is talked about Kenya is like they don’t exist that is pure racism on the other hand ethiopia there is a region called Ogaden belong to somali but when documentaries talk about cultural ethnic ethiopia they never add that Somali region it’s like invisible this will only generate hate and Make them feel they are not Kenyans or Ethiopian and you know what will follow my point is create a community where all are respected equally and loved 😍
Many other places of significance were left out, why do you consider somali ans somalian issues a priority? You are suffering from the same disease you are condemning. No documentary can cover a whole nation, its whole history and its complications in a day, not even a year! Give the presenter a break, she touched on significant issues, politely and with respect. There shall be other documentaries.
@@honeylondon1 There some land that belonged to Kenya which was shifted to Tanzania during the scramble, especially the area around Mt.Kilimanjaro, also Uganda used to reach near Rift valley. But you dont see us fighting for someone that happened decades ago which we had no say. Just say Somalians are born aggressive and like to fight and pick fights with their neighbors once an for all.We are tired of y'all frankly
They didn't cover my people(Luhyas) and l am not complaining, we know they can't cover everyone! Infact l was excited to see Giriamas and Samburus covered
100% you are allowing yourself to be owned, oppressed, and destabilized when you allow people to come into your country with the sweet words of ‘helping’ … But what people don’t understand is they’re helping themselves to the natural resources to the land ,to the people.
@@eileen1820 Africans never asked western Europeans to come and bring their "ingenuity and infrastructure" to Africa. They were happily and contented living in their continent, in their African ways. They (Western Europeans) just assumed we needed their "ingenuity" and so they began.. But Africans where protesting throughout the process of delivering ingenuity. Let me put it this way, if we could choose to go back to how we where before "European ingenuity and infrastructure" , we would go back right away and keep our African systems, languages, religion, names, Artefacts and millions of our people who where shipped out. WE NEVER ASKED TO BE RE-ARRANGED, DE-AFRICANISED OR TO BE CIVILISED BY EUROPEANS, NEVER!
I've enjoyed this clip. Whenever white people have gone into another country, the people of that country have suffered greatly. The true history was told in the clip of how Africa was taken over. And how the people of Africa were pushed around and forced to do what the whites wanted them to do. The people of Africa have stood strong and they have kept their languages and culture. The art of Africa shows the dept and beauty of Africa.
You seem like a very hateful person,it shows. Maybe you've had a rough life or maybe thats just the way you choose to be🤷♀️ She didnt say she hates British people,she is recounting History the way it happened. If that makes you upset then there isnt much we can do about that.
Yes, you can care about the environment but the systems that are around you make it difficult for you to do much. Read a book one of these days,you seem ignorant of everything.
Let me ask ya something.. Where humans still alive in existance..after what took out the dinosaurs??! Where did humans come from after this event?? Y'all FOS... Just saying... 🤔
Very nice documentary.💫 Thank you, Dear Afua. I would like to highlighten the passage about active remembering (26:37 ff.) the resistance of Mau Mau against the colonialists. 🤏🏻🧠👂🏿
