Without looking this up on the internet, can you tell me what was the MAU-MAU rebellion?

Answer 1

No. I would have to go to the library. I use the internet for a lot of information gathering.

Answer 2

I clearly remember this from when I was in school. I also remember a TV news report showing a "white" Kenyan hunting the so called Mau-Maus. It stuck in my mind because he carried a grenade held in his teeth so that he could kill himself rather than be captured and tortured.

The Mau Mau Uprising was an insurgency by Kenyan rebels against the British colonial administration that lasted from 1952 to 1960. The core of the resistance was formed by members of the Kikuyu tribe, along with smaller numbers of Embu and Meru. The uprising did not succeed militarily, but did create a rift between the white settler community in Kenya and the Home Office in London that set the stage for Kenyan independence in 1963. It is sometimes called the Mau Mau Rebellion or the Mau Mau Revolt.

The name Mau Mau for the rebel movement wasn't coined by the Kikuyu; instead they called it Muingi ("The Movement"), Muigwithania ("The Understanding"), Muma wa Uiguano ("The Oath of Unity") or simply "The KCA", after the Kikuyu Central Association that created the impetus for the insurgency.
