Kenyans love their thieves. Even in the last elections didn't Kenyans elect people facing murder charges? Did they not elect people facing charges of corruption? Wachana na Kenyans.
I am Tanzanian, and I read Late Kimath's campaigns against colonialism in Kenya back then in the 2010s. I adored his perseverance and his spirit toward his Nation. Please honor these kinds of Men who fought for you with Unity. Your goal should be ONE KENYA. Make him and others who sacrificed everything for your freedom proud.
Some people would have never wanted you to know about Kimathi...They wanted his legacy to die with him but Alas, his charismatic and astute leadership qualities had crossed over the continent where it could not be stopped. He should have met another young versatile man by the name Mboya. But young visionaries that threaten the world order are extinguished very fast to kill any uprising of different fair idiologies. People like Thomas Sankara ,Tom Mboya, Dedan Kimathi are never allowed to live on sadly.Amazing young Men this greate continent missed.
Let me hit the nail on the head, the Kenyattas and Odingas, those were the ones who wanted to Extinguish that beacon of light that was shining bright during those days, and today they have benefited from the back of the misery of those who truly Liberated our beautiful Nation called 🇰🇪
@@suleimansantur248Stop lying. It is the homeguards from Kikuyuland who had an interest in suppressing the legacy of Mau Mau. In any case, that part of the struggle was basically a fight between Kikuyu Mau Mau's and Kikuyu homeguards fighting under the leadership of colonialists. Stop dragging Odinga into Kikuyu feuds. And Mau Mau didn't liberate any part of Kenya. They were completely suppressed by Kikuyu homeguards and their colonial handlers so thoroughly, such that the State of Emergency was lifted in 1957. Mau Mau was completely ineffective by 1957. Independence came in 1963. Wacha uongo zako. .
Kenyatta took power and controlled the information, people in schools were fed with lies and when moi took over the govt, he continued with the narrative. Kibaki rescued the names of these real freedom fighters
History is always written by the victor. Kenyatta and his cohorts tried to paint Kenya's struggle for independence to look like it was a Kenyatta thing. Even Mau Mau remained as a proscribed society, just the way the colonialists had left it until around 2003.
@@yogoeugine In what context? The shooting or the capture or in his trial or the burial or is it the lack of recognition after independence that you are referring to?
That's romantic thinking. The majority of Kikuyus were particularly uncomfortable with Mau Mau. It was a choice between a rock and a hard place for most ordinary Kikuyus. Either side with Mau Mau and face the wrath of homeguards and their colonial masters or stand against Mau Mau and face them. The majority stood against Mau Mau, and Mau Mau lost both politically and militarily.
@@georgeodhiambo598 that a lie, kikuyus supported maumaus wholeheartedly. Why do you think the colonizers were afraid of the movement? You can clearly hear from the documentary the homeguard who shot him was hated by the community.
@georgeodhiambo598 have we seen different documentaries? Where in this documentary or in any communication found anywhere is it said that mau mau was hated? Majority Kikuyus were behind mau mau, few home guards were not!
That goes for all Kenyans. Betraying our own is a sad state of things. Kimathi was fighting for all Kenyans regardless of where you came from. The British didn't differentiate kikuyu from Kalenjin or Jamaican or Nigerians, for that matter. They treated all black people as slaves.
Kimathi was a real hero and mau mau fighter. Other likes of Kenyatta,Odinga, and Moi's family walijipendekeza and they did little things compared to Kimathi.they criminalized Kimathi legacy which is wrong .
You don't know what you are talking about. One of the main grounds for an early split between Kenyatta and Odinga was the shabby manner in which Mau Mau and other landless Kikuyus were being treated in post-colonial Kenya. Mau Mau was defeated militarily mainly through the contribution of Kikuyu homeguards. That phase of freedom struggle was converted into a Kikuyu vs Kikuyu intra-tribal war, a tribal civil war of a kind.
Very funny and ironic how you shame Kenyatta family which you've been supporting since independence but hating on the people who tried to stop Kenyatta from mistreating mau mau like jaramogi who had to resign because of his anti land grabbing policy. Very funny how you spread hate while you know the problem lies with you only to complain later.
@@johnwafula4038Exactly my thoughts. People paid a price for raising issues that were seen to be rocking the Kenyatta boat and at those times, most Kikuyu multitudes firmly stood with Jomo Kenyatta. And now with Jomo Kenyatta long dead, now I hear some noises how the Kenyatta family should be named and shamed. Why didn't they want to rock the Jomo Kenyatta boat? It is because they were benefitting from it.
Traitors and sell outs are always our own. Our history has been written by the oppressors! Once we understand our his history we shall free ourselves!😢😢
General Deadan Kimathi is the president or leader that Kenya missed. The colonial forces had to use all means in their hand to demoralise freedom fighters. Kenya must begin to teach the true history of Kenya to its youth. This way they will grow up to respect the truth of the nation. Can our leaders come clean and demand revelation of general Deadan Kimathi's grave by the British. So that we 🇰🇪 give our hero a benefitting burial.
I am a Ugandan, and we studied about Dedan Kimathi in school in literature. I fell in love with this mysterious man. I found him fascinating. I even thought I'd name one of my children as Dedan Kimathi.
According to this story i feel like all Kenyatta family have many to tell kenyans ,,,no wonder they didn't attend the burial of his wife ...God's watching them
@@waltermungai abused for what?? Gachagua is fighting for Mau Mau by wanting the half of Uhuru's land that was taken from the Mau Mau. Kenyatta family betrayed Mau Mau
"Failed" is smooth and sugarcoating, " Failed" should only describe the aftermath of his death, i.e the injustices that happened to his legacy, wife, family and village after his death, everything associated with Kimathi was forgotten and failed, otherwise Kimathi himself was "sacrificed" by the so called the founding fathers of the republic of Kenya who history has forced us to believe they are our heroes, except for Mzee Jaramogi Oginga
Betrayed for a few cents, just like Jesus was betrayed also for a few cents. From all the Kenyans that care about freedom. REST IN PEACE. Evil will never win.
This is quite elaborate and enlightening. We need more of such inspiring information about the real struggle for freedom. I've always looked at Kimathi's face where he's cuffed, he seems quite defiant, and am like, he fought to the end
Our history. We cherish this picture we grew with as kids and heard so much about. A freedom fighter with no equal fighting for Kenyas freedom from colonial government.
Only Fighters Died, But those who betrayed the country were given the power and govern a country, what a shame, not only in Kenya but African In general, that's why we still under colonial even though indirect
It was some fellow called Ndirangu. But even without Ndirangu, Kimathi's fate was already sealed when the homeguards and their colonial masters overcame Mau Mau from a military point if view. It was just a matter of time because by 1956, Mau Mau had been weakened considerably. They were surrendering and betraying each other in droves by that time.
@@georgeodhiambo598 ... Nope... Odhiambo... Please leave MT Kenya matters alone... You know nothing. War was continuing.. General baimungi was the leader even after kimathi 's death.... Kenyatta was the last one to kill everyone that was still in the forest.. Fighting
@@davidndugere5665 Did you know there was something called State of Emergency? Do you know what it meant? Do you know when it was imposed in some regions in Kenya? Do you know when it was lifted? Do you have the slightest idea WHY it was lifted? By 1956, Mau Mau was a thoroughly defeated force, permanently on the run and not posing any threat to anyone. And Kikuyu homeguards were the main contributors to its down fall
Kimathi was not a ragtag but an astitute man. he wrote and sent articles to the media and even wrote to the Colonial government and British government on the plight of Africans in Kenya
Until the true story on the struggle for Kenya's independence is taught to our children unaltered ONLY then will we free ourselves and children thereof from the burden of this black colonizers......kagunias and tumutimus everywhere in sheep's skin. May their children never know peace
Unfortunately the true story was altered by The Jomo Kenyatta Foundation publishers who ensure Only Kenyatta is the star of the show and all the others aren't mentioned at all.
It has been stated many times that Kimathi was seeking to surrender. This was in the later part of Mau Mau struggle. It was weak, demoralized, and strongly separated from the majority of Kikuyus who were not in the forest. It was a period when homeguards and their handlers had gained the upper hand. Mau Mau's supplies, including arms had ran low and they were starving. Betrayals and surrender was common.
And here we are today Morara doing the same and there are people who won't see how this regime is killing this country but fight him, I cry for my country..
Despite fighting for freedom, some greedy fellows failed him. Gikuyu at large we all failed him and his family. To me he fought for nothing, if i was there during his times, I would advise him not to fight and be a collaborator, coz he could became president and his family would be wealthy with a great name. Maybe our money would be bearing his great name. Never fight for ungrateful people and traitors. Colonialists should compensate Africans.
Exactly, collaborators are wose than the enemies. Collaborators sold out Patrice Lumumba of Congo. That country has not known peace to date. Mabwenyenye wanaendelea kufyonza nchi ya Congo huku wanaichi wakiuana bila kumtambua adui.
To make matters worse, the African colonial government went on re educating Kenyans about the history. They changed everything and the collaborators stole everything from our country. It’s not yet Uhuru…. A reason they allowed muzungu to have military bases to help secure them power. We will change history, wether they like it or not.
What stopped the African govt that took over from giving the correct education? Mau Mau vs homeguards fight was a bitter struggle. It left some permanent scars. You might begin to appreciate what I am stating when you realize that Mau Mau remained a proscribed (banned) organization until 2003. Stop blaming the colonialists. They adopted systems to serve their colonial interests. Blame your leaders who took over from colonialists.
@@georgeodhiambo598 you're free to say whatever pleases you. How don't I blame the colonialists who even today have not let independent countries run Free? They control leaders and kill those can't be controlled. I know where you are coming from, colonialists favored your kind...a reason Africa can't move forward.
@@thebest2115 Firstly Kenyatta was a thoroubred Kikuyu. Secondly Ndirangu who shot Kimathi leading to his capture was a thoroughbred Kikuyu. Thirdly Macharia whose testimony was the one that was used to jail Kenyatta was a thoroughbred. Kikuyus betray anyone and everyone as long as there is money in the deal.
I'm reading some comments here where some are saying that Kimathi fought for Kikuyu land, which might be, but you must understand that his courage inspired people everywhere in Africa. Nelson Mandela said it. This is beyond a certain community.
@@trixieke8462my question is why did oginga Odinga left the presidency for kenyatta? He should have led this country maybe we would have been in a better position right now.
Come on! Stop spreading senseless rumours. Kenyatta was jailed in 1952 for 7 years. Thereafter he was confined to house detention for another year or so. Kimathi was captured in 1956 and hanged soon after in 1957, while Kenyatta was still in prison
@@wallacemunywa2507 Have you even understood my comment? The story is scripted in English and I have responded in English. Is your questionable understanding of English language the reason why you are commenting so irrelevantly? Get someone to translate for you both the story and my response before you start responding with stupid comments. Be relevant. You may wish to change the narrative but the truth is stubborn. Kimathi was hanged while Kenyatta was still in jail. That's a permanent record in history despite my strong dislike for Jomo Kenyatta. And stop lying here. When Jomo Kenyatta led in spilling the blood of Kenyans in post-colonial Kenya, and stealing national resources, it is fools like you who backed him up and partook of some atavistic Kikuyu oaths to cement Kikuyu unity against the rest of Kenya. History is stubborn. I don't give a hoot about Mau Mau but the truth cannot be covered up for ever.
@@georgeodhiambo598 kenyatta betrayed kimathi so that he could take the full leadership. What you are saying is the propaganda itself, 😂 , what do you know about the mau mau?
Kenyatta and the latter leaders should have involved ‘mkoloni’ kuwaonyesha where Kimathi is buried if they didn’t know. Even if he was buried in a mass grave, mkoloni would have been the right agent kuonyesha but the question is: why are Kenyan presidents unwilling to follow the Kimathi issue?? Kenyatta fought the same mkoloni and should have been the first to bring the remains home. Then came the son. Kibaki is known to have done many good things but he, too should have spearheaded, completed and concluded the long-waited for Kimathi project. SHAME ON OUR LEADERS
I’ll tell you who failed Kimathi (and his widow): Jomo Kenyatta Kimathis widow is still alive or has only recently passed away. She never got a piece of land which was what the Mau Mau people fought for, too. That was the “First Betrayal” by Kenyatta
We never got independence the colonizers negotiated for an apartheid state which continues to this day I remember as a child there were places like Norfolk Hotel that were always full of yt tourists and blacks were not welcome and to this day we have alot of places peacting that's apartheid even neighborhoods like that but coz they are not so many people don't notice but that's what was meant to happen after 1963 and the colonizers demanded to be paid for their land in the rift which alot kikuyus worked for yt farmers for years in exchange for that land but they still suffer evictions to this day because of this mess

THE KENYATTAS BETRAYED THIS GUY. SHAME ON THEM
So sad that we celebrate independence unknowingly of the actual history... True Kenyan hero
I'm reading some comments here where some are saying that Kimathi fought for Kikuyu land, which might be, but you must understand that his courage inspired people everywhere in Africa. Nelson Mandela said it. This is beyond a certain community.
But when Odinga family stood with his descendants your community castigated him. Raila even bought his wife a house
@@trixieke8462my question is why did oginga Odinga left the presidency for kenyatta?
He should have led this country maybe we would have been in a better position right now.
Dam
Shot by Kenyatta ..... The true freedom fighter
Come on! Stop spreading senseless rumours. Kenyatta was jailed in 1952 for 7 years. Thereafter he was confined to house detention for another year or so. Kimathi was captured in 1956 and hanged soon after in 1957, while Kenyatta was still in prison
@@georgeodhiambo598 mnajipendekeza kwa Kenyatta's na vile waliangusha mtu wenu😂 story ya May Mau wachia wakikuyu Wacha propagandas
@@wallacemunywa2507 Have you even understood my comment? The story is scripted in English and I have responded in English. Is your questionable understanding of English language the reason why you are commenting so irrelevantly? Get someone to translate for you both the story and my response before you start responding with stupid comments. Be relevant. You may wish to change the narrative but the truth is stubborn. Kimathi was hanged while Kenyatta was still in jail. That's a permanent record in history despite my strong dislike for Jomo Kenyatta. And stop lying here. When Jomo Kenyatta led in spilling the blood of Kenyans in post-colonial Kenya, and stealing national resources, it is fools like you who backed him up and partook of some atavistic Kikuyu oaths to cement Kikuyu unity against the rest of Kenya. History is stubborn. I don't give a hoot about Mau Mau but the truth cannot be covered up for ever.
@@georgeodhiambo598 kenyatta betrayed kimathi so that he could take the full leadership. What you are saying is the propaganda itself, 😂 , what do you know about the mau mau?
I grew my locs because of Kimathi
Kimathi mūrū wa Wachiūri, ūromama kwega kuraga. This country will never forget you. 🇰🇪
Kenya is a neo-colonial state. How and why are the Dedan Kimathi Papers not for public reading even in 2024?
Rewatching in 2024
Great man Dedan Kimathi. Dedan is a annual name. Dedan was the name of my father
It will not be like this forever
Kenyatta and the latter leaders should have involved ‘mkoloni’ kuwaonyesha where Kimathi is buried if they didn’t know. Even if he was buried in a mass grave, mkoloni would have been the right agent kuonyesha but the question is: why are Kenyan presidents unwilling to follow the Kimathi issue?? Kenyatta fought the same mkoloni and should have been the first to bring the remains home. Then came the son. Kibaki is known to have done many good things but he, too should have spearheaded, completed and concluded the long-waited for Kimathi project. SHAME ON OUR LEADERS
We live in agnony as a family😢
So sad! God shall reward.
Man is too selfish and only thinks about himself.
I’ll tell you who failed Kimathi (and his widow):
Jomo Kenyatta
Kimathis widow is still alive or has only recently passed away.
She never got a piece of land which was what the Mau Mau people fought for, too.
That was the “First Betrayal” by Kenyatta
Soo sorrowful.
Kenyatta was a sell out
Stop beating around the bush, Mzee Kenyatta was a traitor, period 🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿🤷🏿
Insightful
We need those kimathi documents made public
Betrayal beyond measure!! 💔💔💔💔
Memories galore of shujaa Dedan kimathi.
Nowadays they protect Uhuru and his looting 😂😂
What a man!
We never got independence the colonizers negotiated for an apartheid state which continues to this day I remember as a child there were places like Norfolk Hotel that were always full of yt tourists and blacks were not welcome and to this day we have alot of places peacting that's apartheid even neighborhoods like that but coz they are not so many people don't notice but that's what was meant to happen after 1963 and the colonizers demanded to be paid for their land in the rift which alot kikuyus worked for yt farmers for years in exchange for that land but they still suffer evictions to this day because of this mess
Michuki, Ndirangu wasaliti wote.
Some people here seem so keen on disregarding this man on the basis of his tribe.. Its so sad that even after all this while tribalism still persists even in places it has no place. SAD. This is one advantage that Tanzania will always have above us

Kenyans wakeup to fight the right of our fighters kim,mwariama,ad the rest
I hate corruption in Kenya
Long live kimathi,great son of the soil
May his spirit reigns in Africa lest history may repeat itself. But why did this colonialist hand crafted even In death?
Is it a factual statement or just some baseless conjecture from this crackpot of a history professor?
Guys we was told when Kimathi wife burial the men knows whereabouts Kimathi body. What this?
What are you saying??
