Why did the British government air lift thousands of files out of Kenya ? Did they bury their secrets or did they set them on fire? Why did Britain create their own Gulag - concentration camps and detention camps and encasement of whole villages under watchtowers and barbed wired fences..? Did the Kikuyu survive? This week we discuss the Mau Mau Rebellion, a 50 year cover up, and Maxim guns being used against the Ijebu Kingdom... we look at British colonial rule and the effect of WW2 on African liberation movements!
