Description

Kenya's struggle for independence from British colonial rule was a long and difficult process that spanned several decades. The nationalist movement, led by figures such as Jomo Kenyatta and Dedan Kimathi, demanded greater political representation and rights for the Kenyan people. The British authorities responded with brutal force, leading to imprisonment and deaths of many leaders. However, the movement persevered, and in 1963, Kenya gained full independence with Kenyatta as its first president. Despite challenges such as ethnic tensions and political corruption, Kenya has continued to grow and evolve, becoming a key player on the African continent and an example of resilience and determination in the face of oppression.
