On this day, 26 March 1953 Mau Mau guerrillas fighting British colonialism in Kenya attacked the Naivasha police station. They inflicted a humiliating defeat on the police and released 173 prisoners, many of them Mau Mau, from an adjoining detention camp. While the uprising was eventually crushed by mass repression and murder by British forces, independence was achieved just a few years later. This is a short video history of the rebellion: https://ift.tt/2JJ12k3 https://ift.tt/2UeGZ0X
