Kenya Land and Freedom Army

The Kenya Land and Freedom Army, also known as the Mau Mau, was a militant movement in Kenya during the 1950s fighting against British colonial rule. Comprising mainly Kikuyu farmers, they sought to reclaim land and achieve independence, using guerrilla tactics and violence against colonial authorities and settlers. Their activities fueled widespread unrest, leading to Kenya's independence in 1963. The movement is considered a symbol of Kenya's struggle for liberation and land rights, highlighting issues of colonial land confiscation, resistance, and national sovereignty.
