[Strange how they are called freedom fighters and iraqi fighters are called terrorists-ed]
Victims of Kenya’s independence war with Britain 50 years ago are to start proceedings to claim compensation from the British government.
Veterans of the Mau Mau – who fought a guerrilla war with their colonial masters – are demanding an apology and an out-of-court financial settlement.
Tens of thousands of Mau Mau fighters were killed or imprisoned in camps.
“Many are in their 70s and 80s and would like to see reparations before they die,” lawyer Martin Day said.
Mr Day added: “We recognise the pain, suffering and torment that these freedom fighters have gone through – many of them are still suffering from the after effects today.

Here we go again , anything for an easy buck,are they in thier turn intending to make reparations to the thousands of farmers and thier families that they butchered, will they acknowledge the suffering caused to millions of cattle whos rear tendons they slashed with thier pangas,plus the rape and robbery that they committed,and will kenyatta be tried as a war criminal?and what about the current situation where a white can not have a job,if a negro wants it?these simians can surely teach us a thing or two about racism.
