Here's how the British stole this Kenyan land

- Half a million Indigenous Kenyans were violently evicted during British colonization in order to make room for tea plantations. Kenya produces more than half of the black tea imported by the UK and British companies still dominate the industry. Kenya gained independence from the UK 60 years ago. So why are Indigenous Kenyans still fighting the British government for their land?

*The atrocities of the British Empire are even felt today around the world - Israel/Palestine, Hong Kong, India/Pakistan, etc. are some of the examples. The British Empire was one of the most cruelest empires in the history of mankind.*
I don't think you know your history because Gandhi said that the British were not immoral people... and that's the only reason non-violence worked.
People in Hong Kong will tell you that they wish it was still British and not under the CCP dictatorship
Even when India and Pakistan had a chance for a unified state there was rivalry resulting in partition. Pakistan after that fought civil war resulting in Bangladesh independance... there was no peace and they fought War before between themselves and even today most Hindu people do not like Pakistan. USA intelligence thought ww3 would be started over Kashmir. Now we have bigger problems.
There plenty of anglophiles in India but there are people who hate the British Empire. My Hindu friends who were educated do not have hard feelings
You probably got fed a lot of biased information from sensitivity studies in the University which is really too bad because it's communist propaganda actually
Pay up Britain!!
Poor king Charles...his fathers hated him....his mother didn't love him...now every One accuse him of being responsible for the crimes of the British empire.... Only Camilla. Has Always loved him...🌺

@@MrSky10101 Perfectly understandable. Then don't cry when they collectively destroy your systems and take back what is rightfully theirs. And how the economies of Europe Russia, China, Japan, Korea, Australia and America are doing I'd say that time isn't far from now.

This all sounds disgustingly familiar. It's time to destroy the vestiges of colonial rule!
Irish people stand with you, we want all of our Country back independence from Britain. We were sold into slavery starved of our land and scattered to the four corners of the Earth we want retribution for all our brothers and sisters throughout, The commonwealth

I've watched this in tears as a Kipsigis person residing in Kericho 😭
It is painful to watch. I know it is hard to watch but please dont give up hope. Keep creating awareness and keep fighting. Eventually God willing your people will win. But alot of people have to talk about and protest for change to come in this and for this 96 year old grandmother to see the change while she is alive. Its painful really.
Do not ask for your land back, they will laugh at you. Take it back, its the only way
If they give back what they stole, then they would have nothing.
What they won. And no. They would still have quite a lot. Quite a lot.
And you lot would pi55 it all up the wall and still end up with nothing. What do you think was there before the tea? Wakanda?

Go back to saudi arabia, colonizer
The main reason why British hates Somalia is because they were not allowed to grab any land and not to impose their religion plus culture. And the main reason why British love Kenya is successive governments have allowed British keep millions of accres of land owned by Kenyans, forced their faith and culture upon them
is somalia a paradise? most somali want to live in UK as refugees
As a Kenyan I agree .
@@mindread2231
Somalia is in war, but they are not in humiliation like Kenya and Palestine. The Somalians are not living under the humiliation of occupation. They are like Syrians rather thean Kenyans.
Unfortunately, it's the same situation in all the colonies. The saddest part is, that no one will get their land or reparations because if the crown does it to one country they'll open the floodgates for them all.
@susanmarie1966 I totally agree.
In Australia, we still had White wardens controlling Aboriginal missions as late as the 1980s and 1990s, where the Aborigines needed permission to leave the mission even to attend a funeral.
I have indigenous friends who were from the stolen generation, but the majority White population still hide the truth and just say "get over it, this happened generations ago, so why should we pay reparations?" 🤔
Most people don't know the rruth because our media won't show it.
James Finlay's parent company is John Swire & co.
John Swire & co is a large financial donor to the British conservative party..
Surprise, surprise. 🙄 The Tories have blood on their hands.
Everyone is complaining about their land, well that is the case of land grabbing.
As a Palestinian from illegally occupied Palestine I 100٪ agreed!
In the Netflix series, “Crown”, second episode, Elizabeth and Philip honeymooned in Kenya. During a parade review, Philip and a native king met, eye to eye. I felt that this was foreshadowing the Mau Mau revolt that would happen a few years later. I had hoped that this would be an opportunity to examine what really happened before Kenya's independence. I would be disappointed and the series became increasingly soapy.
I actually had a similar thought when I saw that scene. Laughable to think of it now, as if that show would ever.
How long must countries suffer from the effects of colonialism?
I want nothing more than for countries to have control over their own resources. It’s literally better for planet
We want our gold back
Payback time by the British hoodlums aka British rules
High time they are really out of country and not just on paper
We all know the British will never pay for what they did in the past as this would be admitting to the fact. These poor people will go living like this. Its a shame but that is the fact of life for these people. The cost of reparations today (taking inflation into account) would simply bankrupt England who can are facing some bad financial time themselves at the moment. 100,000,000 to crown a Nazi (supposedly) while the average working person has to choose between food or heat. An absolute disgrace if you ask me.
God Bless You AJ! Truth will bring justice one day!
They cannot pay enough to revert this injustice and we all who live in rich areas, are guilty of benefitting from this Kind of injustice in some way and not doing anything to seriously change it.
Fine, if Britain doesn't want to return, just tax these businesses out of existence. Native Kenyans can form their own cooperatives and buy the assets at auction price. After that, Kenya can choose whether to lower the taxes (and should, of course!). There will be disruption and confusion for a few years, after which things will get back to normal.
You say this as if the Kenyan government isn't complicit. Also, the taxes would be seen as an act of war, equal to violence. You need to read the history of Marxist movements and economic nationalisation: it was never possible to decolonise peacefully. Only militarily powerful countries such as Japan were able to peacefully deal with their occupiers, and that's how Japan became an American ally, because America was afraid of Japan joining the communists and becoming a powerful country as it was before the end of WWII.
I am glad young Africans are finally raising these issues. We tried in the 70s, 80s and 90s and we were put in jail and silenced. Thank you for carrying on with the fight. Justice will come soon!!

Kenya government must follow the Zimbabwe play book and take this land. It's a shame that 60 years after independence, we still have this rubbish.
Colonialism never ended.

The whole story registers as scandalous, deplorable., To hear it out fully the settlements lacks complete validity or legitimacy of any land ownership. But seeing the use of the gun against unarmed people its clear the Britain settlement in Kenya is a *robbery* .
Duh!!! Did you think it was a walk in the park. British people were savages and uncivilized to say the least.
Ireland also 🇮🇪

More signs that there has to be a day of judgement, in order to put right all the wrongs that has gone on in the history of mankind...😢
The English did the same thing to my ancestors in the Highlands of Scotland. They referred to us as Savages and Squatters as well.
Now the west lecture us about human rights what a joke😂
I don't know why they havent burnt the tea estate down

It is the world's responsibility, and that means all of us, to put pressure on the British crown without putting pressure on the British people. It would be nice if the King was altruistic but we all know he's not. Reparations is complicated.

Sorry, can't blame the British, yes they benefitting, however the Kenyan government and all the other African governments are to blame, they allowing this shit to happen, politicians are the ones benefitting and they don't want the status quo to change
Damn Anglican church and Christianity all together !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Where is thier government
This is the easiest way to understand that neocolonialism isn't simply an excuse, but a real factor in the underdevelopment of Africa. This also proves the connection between capitalism and colonialism, showing that capitalism doesn't naturally lead to peace.
Redistribute the wealth of british royals.

- Just asking!
@Sammy Logically, knowing all humans are "guilty of being human and history," all this is racism against white people. Just saying!!!
After 1963 majority of white farm owners fled their lands and the indigenous people took over those lands. However, the minority white owned farms today produce more crops than the rest of the countries other farms combined. If Kenya take those farms as well they might follow the Zimbabwe model where imports exceed exports. That will cause major cash shortages in an economy that already struggles to pay its public servants.
Lmaaaaaaaaaaooo Kenya is NOT Zimbabwe. And either way I’d honestly I’d rather live in poverty than live with greedy white people and adopt your greedy, suicide loving, promiscuous, godless and selfish society.

I dunno...the Kenyan lady at the beginning said she's starving and yet, we can see that she is well-fed and looks far from malnourished. In 2023, their problems are with the Kenyan government for not doing enough for their people. Yes, the British are evil but the colonization happened decades ago. Now they should find ways to rebound from that instead of dwelling on the past.
But the effects of colonisation as still felt
till this day, and they're currently undergoing Neocolonialism. If you want them to not dwell in past, then the former
Coloniser too should stop dwelling in the past too, by giving them back their lands,
France ending franceafrique in 14 african
Nations, Europe and America returning all the stolen arts, European companies giving Africans back their mines, European and America removing they're military troops in Africa for securing "Strategic" minerals
