I researched the Mau Mau fighters, who fought for independence during the Mau Mau rebellion in Kenya in the 1950’s. This rebellion took place in Britain and was one of Britain’s most violent wars. Britain had invaded Eastern Africa, wrecking the traditions and families of African people. The Mau Mau fighters were led by ethnic groups in Kenya. The historical harm that led the Mau Mau fighters to rebellion was that they disputed British laws, therefore leading to an anti- colonial rebellion.  The Mau Mau fighters demanded the reparation of stolen artifacts . Many African citizens believe that this completion of this demand is justified due to the horrible experiences many Mau Mau members suffered in detention camps and other types of abuse they received. This demand has been made publicly to King Charles. These demands have yet to be fared because the British government has made it challenging for the Mau Mau fighters who continuously battle for reparations and justice.
